Desperate and willing to do anything to save his son, Raghav begins taking matters into his own hands and starts orchestrating murders in order to procure organ donations. As he spirals further into his obsession, he goes to extreme lengths, all while trying to evade Danny, who is investigating the growing number of deaths.
