When Alia's (Mansha Pasha) husband, Noman Malik (Ali Kazmi), is murdered in a brutal target killing in Karachi, she seeks answers and revenge. Up against a lazy justice system, as well as a social structure that isn't kind to single women, she pushes ahead in fury. Finally, she comes across Adeel (Ahmed Ali), a cab driver with his own set of troubles. Adeel's dreams of going to Dubai aren't materializing, even though he indulges in petty crimes. He offers to help Alia find her husband’s killer in return for money. Alia offers double in return if he kills the assassin instead. Left with no choice, Adeel starts to try and find the assassin with the help of other criminals around him.
