Twenty-two years later, Saamiya Siddiqui, a Pakistani lawyer on her first case, finds herself face-to-face with an ageing Veer Pratap Singh. He has languished in a Pakistan jail cell for 22 years and has not spoken to anyone all these years - and no one knows why.

Why has Veer been silent for 22 years? Why is he in a jail in Pakistan? Where is Zaara? What happened to her?
