Delhi 1999: Jessica Lall is a model and works that night with Vikram Jai Singh behind the bar in a discotheque. They close the bar and three young men appear. Manish Bhardwaj, son of an influential politician, and his friends want to buy drinks. When Jessica refuses to sell them drinks because the bar has already closed, Manish pulls out a gun and shoots her in the head. The men flee and Jessica is taken to the hospital, where she dies shortly afterwards. The witnesses are intimidated by Manish's father and the investigation is obstructed. Jessica's sister Sabrina doesn't put up with that. She wants to put the culprit behind bars. Successful NDTV journalist Meera Gaity, known for pushing boundaries, is not interested in the case for now, but cannot watch injustice reign and decides to get to the bottom of it. Meera tries to persuade the witnesses to tell the truth about what happened that evening. Vikram, who watched Jessica get shot, refuses to speak because he was threatened with a bullet if he spoke. So the other witnesses are also silenced. Manish hides in his father's house and as soon as he leaves the house he is arrested.
