In 2019, Major Kabir Dhaliwal kills V. K. Naidu, a veteran R&AW agent in New Delhi, instead of his assignment to kill an Iraqi terrorist named Farid Haqqani. Led by Defence Minister Sherna Patel and Colonel Sunil Luthra, the agency summons Kabir's student Captain Khalid Rahmani to capture him.
Past: It is revealed that Khalid's father Major Abdul Rahmani betrayed the army in a previous mission, leaving Kabir with two gunshot wounds and his partner dead. Kabir then sought and killed Abdul for his betrayal. Reluctant to work with Khalid, Kabir eventually allows him to join his squad, consisting of R&AW agents Saurabh, Prateek, Muthu and Aditi on a successful mission in Tikrit to kill a cell of Haqqani's associates. The group succeeds in arresting terrorist Basheer Hassib in turn causing their main target Rizwan Ilyasi, a terrorist-cum-businessman, to come out of hiding. The squad reunite to target Ilyasi in Marrakesh. As they capture him, Ilyasi tells Kabir that he planted a mole in his team. Saurabh reveals himself as the mole by killing Prateek and Muthu. This starts a rooftop chase with Khalid chasing Saurabh. On the ground, a shootout ensues between Kabir and Ilyasi's men, where Kabir gets shot and wakes up at the hospital a few days later. Kabir meets a severely injured Khalid, who tells him that he killed Saurabh.
Present: Khalid is nearly taken off the mission to capture Kabir when Lieutenant colonel Jimmy Shroff is murdered by Kabir. Kabir then organises a public meeting with Khalid on the metro, informing him that his next target is Dr. Utpal Biswas. In Lisbon, Khalid is unable to prevent Biswas from being killed by Kabir. After the incident, Khalid is suspended by R&AW. Khalid tracks Kabir down through a previous case, where he learns that Kabir was on a covert mission to find a government hard drive with secret codes 6 months ago and was targeting Ilyasi's known associates. Khalid also learns that Kabir faked a relationship with a dancer named Naina Sahni in order to get her to spy on Firoze Contractor, one of Iliyasi's previous associates. Naina was ultimately murdered by Firoze, where Kabir deduces that Firoze was actually Ilyasi, who took on Firoze's identity following a plastic surgery by Dr. Mallika Singhal. Kabir and Khalid agree to work together, but Kabir's hideout is attacked; they escape and reach Kerala to Aditi's wedding and recover a hard drive with the secret codes. Kabir hands the drive to Khalid for safekeeping.
While celebrating the mission's success on a houseboat, Saurabh poisons Kabir by lacing TTX in his drink. It is revealed that Khalid was ultimately shot dead by Ilyasi during their mission in Marrakesi. Saurabh then underwent a plastic surgery by Dr. Mallika Singhal to disguise himself as Khalid. Saurabh throws Kabir into the river and returns to Ilyasi, who is based on a heavily armed icebreaker ship in the Arctic Circle. Kabir then parachutes aboard, where he eliminates Ilyasi's militia and confronts Saurabh. Kabir reveals to Saurabh that he knew the latter was not Khalid, having seen him shoot perfectly from his right side and drink alcohol. Khalid lacked peripheral vision in his right eye, owing to a bullying incident in his childhood and refused to drink alcohol due to religious beliefs. Kabir acquired an antidote to TTX from Aditi and inserted a tracker in the drive, which he handed over to Saurabh for safekeeping. Saurabh shoots Ilyasi dead and escapes the ship to a derelict church. A brutal fight between Kabir and Saurabh culminates with Kabir killing him by collapsing the church's dome onto him.
Khalid is posthumously honoured for his sacrifice, while his mother Nafeesa receives an award from the Prime Minister on his behalf. Kabir, who is still officially designated as a traitor, takes care of Naina's daughter Roohi as he has adopted her. After having a chat with Luthra, Kabir agrees to a covert mission to kill Haqqani. Later, Kabir and Roohi surf together at Bondi Beach in Sydney, fulfilling Naina's wish of surfing with her.
