The film deals with terrorism and the tragedy of children suffering from war. It was rated R in the United States due to violence. The film was screened at the Stockholm International Film Festival. One day, his young son Irfaan meets an accident and is taken to a hospital, but due to a fatwa instigated by a wanted terrorist named Malik Ul Khan forbidding doctors to treat policemen and their families, the doctors refuse to treat Irfaan out of fear of letting their families suffer Malik's wrath.
Even when an angry Inayat threatens to punish the doctors if they don't treat Irfaan, they still refuse do so by saying that they would rather face their punishment than let their families suffer Malik's wrath. As such, Irfaan dies succumbing to his injuries, and Inayat swears revenge on Malik for this. Eventually, Inayat and his men were able to track down Malik and his men at a village called Dalgate, and they manage to kill them all.
Unfortunately, a family caught in the crossfire is killed by accident, and a young boy named Altaaf is the only survivor traumatized by the deaths of his parents and sister. Inayat's wife Neelima, feeling sorry for Altaaf, attempts to persuade Inayat to adopt Altaaf. Despite fearing that Altaaf may one day discover the truth and get revenge for it, Inayat reluctantly agrees as he is wracked with remorse for killing Altaaf's family. Just when Altaaf seems to have settled down in his new home and accepted Inayat and Neelima as his new parents, he learns that Inayat was one of the policemen who killed his family.
After an unsuccessful attempt on Inayat's life, the young Altaaf runs away and is found and brought up by a terrorist group led by their Pathan leader Hilal Kohistani, who brainwashes him into thinking that he and his men act according to Islamic principles and trains him to become a terrorist.
