Pooja, a Nepali police officer, has broken centuries-old misogyny by becoming the first female Superintendent. She comes across her first case in a violent border town, a case nobody wants to deal with. Whilst tens of thousands are in the streets protesting systemic discrimination against the dark-skinned Madhesi, two light-skinned boys have been kidnapped. The ransom is more than anyone could pay.
Pooja has only 24 hours to save the boys and very few clues. A tough, no-nonsense cop, she is forced to seek help from Mamata, a feminine, dark-skinned Madhesi, who seems to sympathize with the protests. With dozens of civilians and police officers killed in the last days, failure to find the boys could spark a revolution.
