Plot summary
Recorded as dead after a mission, Ajay Kumar, known as AK, raids an arms exchange in a Serbian forest, wipes out the soldiers guarding it and escapes with the weapons drive. His agency learns he is alive, and Aryan Singha, its chief strategist, offers to lead the hunt for him. AK had been living with his wife Yazhini, who runs an Indian restaurant, until a mission sent him after Natasha, a hacker from Bulgaria with a gift for breaking into plutonium weapon codes. Three explosions have already shaken the ground, and two more strikes are planned for India. AK heads to Serbia, where Arumai Prakasam, a translator, guides him.
