A drama following Alia Khan, a young female inspector in the Mumbai Police Force

A drama following Alia Khan, a young female inspector in the Mumbai Police Force, as she attempts to solve a series of crimes.

This fast-paced, two-part police thriller follows Alia Khan, a young woman inspector in the Bandra Division of the Mumbai Police Force, as she attempts to solve a series of crimes, make sense of her troubled past and cope with being a woman in a male dominated and chauvinistic police force. 

When a baby is rescued from a gutter, it falls on the only female police officer on hand, Alia Khan to look after it. Stuck with a new partner, and a boss who is determined to put her in her place, Alia has to fight to be noticed. But over a series of cases, including a child prostitution ring, a scam to lock away unwanted wives and the murder of a fashion model in a five-star hotel, Alia starts to assert her authority. But there is one mystery that haunts her - one linked to her policeman father.
