Opening in a flashback scene, it is shown that a young boy kills his father by poisioning. Presently, Forensic expert Nikhil Nair is a teacher of forensic science at the FBI in the US. He lives with his wife Naina and daughter Riya. Nikhil is not happy in teaching. He misses his days back in the CBI in India. For quite sometime, Nikhil has been receiving some coordinates from an unknown and he forwards it to his friend Lolark Dubey in the CBI. Later, bodies are found on these coordinates. Nikhil leaves for India and returns to the CBI after a five-year hiatus. He is assigned to a case involving serial killing of people in place of Dhananjay Rajput. Shockingly, the latest victim is the wife of his old mentor/teacher, Dhananjay Rajput DJ (with whom he had parted ways in the past due to some ethical issues). Suspicion for latest murder turns out to on DJ himself.

Worried for his family, Nikhil gives in to the killer's demand and plans to murder Aditya Jalan. But this time, it's his mentor, Dhananjay, who is pulling all stops to catch the killer, before it too late.
2 perfect murders down, Nikhil's given his next target - and it's none other than Dhananjay Rajpoot, his mentor and friend. For the sake of his family, will Nikhil murder his own mentor?
It all boils down to the final face-off. Nikhil, Dhananjay and the killer are now involved in the battle of wits and only one will survive this sinister game.
