Once, he was one of them - the infamous Encounter Cops of Mumbai, a ruthless squad of policemen, historically bestowed with the freedom to enact vigilante justice on the city's overflowing criminal underworld. Torn apart by grief, Arjun Kadam has hit rock bottom. Now, fate has given him a second chance at redemption as he makes one last stand against the very machine of violence and corruption that he once helped create.
