Plot Summary:

Tyler Rake, a former Australian Special Air Service Regiment soldier turned black-market mercenary, is hired by Nik Khan, another mercenary, to rescue Ovi Mahajan Jr., the son of India's biggest drug lord, from his kidnappers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Saju Rav, Ovi's father's chief henchman, kills Rake's teammates and attempts to bring Ovi back himself to avoid paying the ransom or Rake's team's costs. Rake and Ovi escape Saju and encounter Farhad and his gang, who want to kill Rake. Later, Rake's old friend Gaspar offers him money to let him kill Ovi. Rake and Gaspar fight, and Ovi kills Gaspar in self-defense.

Rake calls Saju for help, and they team up against the corrupt police and elite forces controlled by the ruthless drug lord Amir Asif. During the extraction, Rake is severely wounded and sacrifices himself to cover Ovi's escape. Eight months later, Khan kills Asif, and Ovi sees a man resembling Rake watching over him in a swimming pool.
