Jai Singh Rathod is back. But he isn't the same person anymore, at least on the surface. He's battling alcohol issues in rehab. That's not it. His son Veer (Akshay Ajit Singh) holds him responsible for his mother's (Tisca Chopra) death, and hates him. Jai gets a terror mastermind Roshan Sherchan (Ashish Vidyarthi) arrested along with accomplice Shivani Malik (Sakshi Tanwar). But Roshan's brother Haroon Sherchan (Sikander Kher) has made a deadly plan. He threatens to infect Mumbai with a virus that can put everyone's life at risk. While the Anti Terrorism Unit (including Shivani Malik) is trying its best to solve the case, Jai Rathod is hatching a plan to free Roshan. What's his motive? There's a new woman Maya in Jai's life (played by Surveen Chawla), and his son starts hating him even more for this. Jai apparently is doing everything for the sake of Maya, who's also seen romancing Haroon. What's her truth?
