Plot summary
Tejas Gill is a Wing Commander in the Indian Air Force, flying frontline missions with her co-pilot Aafia. She trained as a fighter pilot after combat roles opened to women, and during that time she grew close to Ekveer, a civilian singer; the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai killed Ekveer and members of her family. In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands she goes against orders to pull a fellow officer, Vivek, out of a restricted zone, and her superiors demand an explanation. When a video surfaces showing an Indian national held by a terrorist group in Pakistan, Tejas tells the Air Chief that it is a coded call for help. She and Aafia are picked for a secret mission across the border.
