Mumbai, 2017: Reymerg D'Souza, a media tycoon and powerful militant Atheist, harbours an ominous plan to cleanse the country from religion.

Avantika Das, an investigative journalist, partners with a suspended cop to embark on a perilous journey to expose Reymerg's darker agendas.

Back in 1992, two young misfits are drawn together by the ravages of an approaching Hindu-Muslim riot.

Masher, a diffident teenager with a speech disorder is forced into participating in an annual elocution contest held in his school.

During this period, he befriends Raem, a twenty-one-year old recluse with a foreign descent, who gifts him a packet of mysterious chocolate pills.

The pills magically begin to embolden their lives. They begin to win moments and people. A Tonic that turns them from being misfits to stupefiers.

But soon the riots begin to take its violent form. As it takes away everything from one but not so much from the other.

The two tales separated by decades, strangely begin to converge towards the end, to forge a deadly truth that binds the lives of these people in the most unexpected manner and may be the key to stopping the atheist from executing his sinister plans.
