A powerful politician, who also serves as the state’s chief minister, dies unexpectedly. Seizing the opportunity, his ambitious son-in-law plots to take control of the state with sinister intentions. However, standing in his way is the late leader’s trusted right-hand man, a figure with a mysterious past and the only one capable of stopping this looming threat.
