Set in a remote and conflict-ridden border region, the story follows Vikram's evolution as a protector, tasked not only with neutralizing insurgent threats but also with earning the trust of the villagers caught in the crossfire. When a pivotal mission challenges him to balance tactical objectives with moral imperatives, Vikram is forced to confront the essence of leadership and the true cost of valor.
