Plot
In 2007, Sameer Chowdhary, a software engineer, falls in love with Nargis through an alliance and the two get married. The 2008 financial crisis leaves Sameer and Nargis jobless. Three months later, they get jobs in Noman, a fictional Middle East country, with the help of Nadeem, an employee at an overseas recruitment company. Nargis leaves for Noman, while Sameer stays to wait for his documents to arrive. After her arrival, Nargis calls Sameer in a panic state where she tells that someone is kidnapping her. Sameer travels to Noman, where he meets Usman Hamid Ali Murad, a taxi driver. Sameer asks Usman to take him to the address given by Nadeem, but he learns that there is no such address.Usman takes Sameer to the police station, where he learns that Nadeem has gone missing. Fallen out of help with the police due to his restless nature, Sameer approaches the Indian embassy, where he poses as an employee of a telecom company and acquires the address of the person from whose phone Nargis contacted him, which turns out to be a person named Shirazi. Sameer and Usman learn about Shirazi's involvement in the human trafficking. Sameer visits brothels with Usman in search of Nargis and finds her, but he is attacked by the owners and Sameer turns violent, where he kills the men and a car chase ensues which results in Sameer getting arrested by the Indian Embassy cops.
Sameer narrates the incident to the cops, where he is approached by Faiz Abu Malik, a Nomani cop, who decides to help him with officer Tamena joining along. They view the CCTV footage of the Noman airport, where they see Nargis entering a van with a man revealed to be Itzak, an Algerian modelling coordinator. Itzak orders that Nargis be killed. Faiz and Tamena come across a burnt corpse and believe it to be Nargis. Sameer sees her pendant and gets shattered. Following her funeral, Sameer is given compensation and tickets to India. Tamena learns Nargis is alive and the corpse they found was of a different woman. Tamena and Faiz try to find Sameer only to find that Sameer never boarded the flight.
Baying for revenge, Sameer arrives at Itzak's house and thrashes him before Itzak reveals that Nargis is alive. Faiz and Tamena arrive, where Faiz is revealed to be Itzak's ally. Tamena subdues Faiz long enough to buy Sameer and Usman time to escape, using the black truck trailer where Nargis is inside. Faiz kills Tamena and frames Sameer. An ensuing truck chase leaves Itzak dead. Faiz meets his crime partner and Itzak's boss, which is photographed by an undercover cop. Sameer arrives at the Indian Embassy, but is captured by Faiz, and planned to kill him saying, "You're Dead!", until the guard stopped him by using his gun, including the betrayal made by commander Ali Azam Ghazi. This resulted in Sameer and Faiz engaging in a bloodied fistfight where Sameer thrashes him. After this, Sameer exited the embassy, with one guard opening the back of the truck, freeing Nargis and other women.
Three days later, Sameer attends to Tamena's state funeral, while Faiz gets killed by the firing squad for his crimes and kidnapping the women. In the airport, Sameer and Nargis prepare to leave for India while making the last meeting with Usman. Sameer invites Usman to arrive and meet them at India as they greet him one day before leaving back to India.
