A line slices a nation into India and Pakistan. Unknown to each other, two girls, Phoolrani and Sona Jigri, face mayhem, betrayal and massacre on either side. Having lost all, both rebuild their lives with dignity.
Decades later, their sons’ paths cross.
Inspired by stories about his great grandfather, Dr. Arjun, Phoolrani’s son, grows up, desiring fame and success. A talented surgeon who sets out to build a medical empire whatever the cost.
Major Vijay, Sona Jigri’s son, grows up believing in what is just and right. He joins the Indian army, but disheartened by the senseless deaths during the anti-insurgency operations, he opts out to head Dr. Arjun’s hospital as the director.
Their differing beliefs result in a conflict when the Ebola virus breaks out into a national calamity. Unknown to Major Vijay, the stringent procedures he had introduced at the hospital had been diluted, resulting in few deaths.
Does Major Vijay win the battle against Ebola to lose one with his conscience, or does Dr. Arjun lose his integrity for commercial success?
