Following the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S.A., an explosion in a motor boat shatters the peaceful silence on Christmas eve in London, Britain. Following this incident is a daring robbery from an armored vehicle carrying billions of pounds. The police suspect two East Indians - Pipi and Simran Chopra alias Sim. They are interrogated extensively amidst allegations that they may be linked to Al Qaeda. Then Crime Journalist, Monsoon, Iyer, comes to know about their plight, meets them, and asks her boyfriend Advocate Krishan Pundit to represent them. Krishan meets with the two, listens to their side of the incidents, is convinced of their innocence, and quite sure that the above two incidents as well as the deaths of three of Pipi and Sim's friends were the actions of a notorious terrorist named Murtaza Arafi. But is their version the truth of what actually happened? If Krishan continues to defend them will he also be made a scapegoat by the British authorities? As well be on the hit-list of Murtuza?
