Plot summary
Communal riots in Gujarat in 2002 force Zayed Masood, then a boy, and his family to take shelter with Subhadra Ben, who heads a royal household. Balraj, a Hindu extremist leader, brings a mob against them, and Zayed escapes with his younger brother Zaheer. In the present, Kerala's Chief Minister Jathin Ramdas has grown corrupt and broken from his party to ally with the Akhanda Shakthi Morcha, led by Balraj, now known as Baba Bajrangi. His sister Priyadarshini watches the change, while Govardhan searches for Stephen Nedumpally, P. K. Ramdas' adopted son, who left politics. Stephen lives abroad as Khureshi Ab'raam, head of a global crime nexus, with MI6 tracking him.
