Plot summary
Three convicts, Ashraf Hussain, Francis Adaikalaraj and RD Bohra, receive 25-year sentences for anti-national activities and show no remorse. The next day a nuclear-capable missile, Agni Putra, is being moved toward the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota when Sugurthuraj and his men seize it. At headquarters, a panel of ministers and military chiefs led by Mr. Rao, the RAW chief, turns to the off-duty agent Arun Kumar Vikram to locate the weapon, and the missile is built to ignite on its own within ten days. Rao pairs him with Preethi, a computer expert who knows the design of the missile's onboard computer. Their pursuit points to the Kingdom of Salamia, which refuses to share intelligence with India, leaving the two of them to travel there in disguise.
