Satyabhama "Satya" Anand (Alia Bhatt) is a young woman who has faced more than her fair share of struggles. At a young age, she sees her father Mr Anand (Pranav Brara) committing suicide. She prevents her brother Ankur (Vedang Raina) from seeing it. After being orphaned, they are brought under the charge of rich, distant relatives led by Mr Mehtani. Satya never forgets that they are under obligation and works as a house staff manager. She knows the family's secrets and does everything she can to protect them.

Mr Mehtani's nephew Nakul wanted to elope with housemaid Kavita just before his wedding. Satya explains to Nakul that his would be father-in-law has 24 FIRs against him, and it is unlikely he will leave Kavita alive. She convinces Nakul to marry as per schedule and convinces Kavita to take a job in London and leave.

She becomes extremely protective of Ankur, bordering on paranoia. Ankur grows to be a rule-abiding bright engineer. Satya, on the other hand, has no such inhibition, especially regarding her brother. This quiet life takes a dramatic turn when Kabir (Aditya Nanda), the son of the family enters their life. He is a drug addict and is known to have been expelled from many universities. Satya views him with great trepidation but Ankur finds a friend in him and trusts him. Ankur develops computer software and needs a sponsor, which Kabir's father (Akashdeep Sabir) happily provides hoping, that it will change his son's life and his ways.

The boys are sent on a business trip to Hanshi Dao, in which the laws are very strict. The country is also facing a revolution due to this. Its drug laws show no mercy, and for possession, a person is charged with death by electrocution. Kabir and Ankur are not aware of the laws, and they work and party. At one such party, Kabir buys drugs, unknown to Ankur. On the way, they are arrested for possession. Ankur calls his sister and tells her that he did not possess drugs, but Kabir did.

Satya understands from her past dealings with her uncle that he will do anything to get his son out, leaving Ankur in potential danger. A lawyer Jaswant (Harssh A. Singh) is appointed who convinces Ankur to save his cousin's life by lying that it was he who possessed the drugs. He conveniently mislays the fact that he will be in jail only for three months, after that, he will be free. What he doesn't say is that after three months, Ankur will be executed for a crime that he did not commit.

Satya is devastated upon learning this. Determined to rescue her brother, she travels to Hanshi Dao, where Ankur is imprisoned, but only after burning her uncle's office. Before leaving she forced Mr Mehtani to pay her Rs 2 Crores. At Hanshi Dao, Satya finds herself entangled in a complex legal and social landscape. Satya visits Ankur in prison and vows to protect him. All the lawyers say that the execution can only be delayed by appeals as the government makes an example by putting immigrant drug dealers on death row. The only choice left to her is to break into the prison and rescue her brother.

Ankur on the other hand, manages to make an enemy out of the warden OIC Hansraj Landa (Vivek Gomber) because of his attitude to sticking to the rules. He, however, makes friends with three other inmates who are wrongly charged, just like him. They have been planning to escape through the sewage channel. When Ankur does any minor violation of rules, Landa comes down heavily and in one instance orders him to be punished with 10 lashes and 5 salted lashes.

Meanwhile, Satya enlists the help of two unlikely allies: Bhatia (Manoj Pahwa), a former gangster whose son faces a similar predicament, and Karthik "Muthu" Muthuraman (Rahul Ravindran), an ex-policeman who deeply regrets his role in a previous wrongful conviction. She met Bhatia at a balloon flying custom outside prison, who takes her to a hope therapy session where she meets Muthu. They both realize that Satya is serious when she stands up to a local bully and even hurts him when he comes at her with a blade.

Initially, Muthu does not agree with the plan but eventually gives in after a forceful persuasion by Satya. Coincidentally, Ankur has become friends with Bhatia's son Tony (Yuvraj Vijjan), Muthu's wrongfully convicted prisoner Chandan (Dheer Hira) and Rayyan (Ankur Khanna).

The rescue mission is meticulously planned with the help of Muthu, who knows the intricate layout of the prison due to his position as a warden in his Pre-retirement days. The plan is to be carried out on a coast festival day when it is believed that the spirits come alive, and no crime is committed. The plan is to escape into Malaysian waters which has no extradition treaty with Hanshi Dao. Muthu contacts his friend in the Malaysian Navy who agrees to pick up the escapees.

Unfortunately, on the same day, unknown to them, the boys too, plan their escape. They had arranged to get their names on the infirmary duty roster. They had dug a tunnel from an unused toilet in the infirmary, which was suspected to be haunted by ghosts. Satya's group, on the other hand, tries to get them assigned to kitchen duties. Despite their best efforts, Satya's group is not able to get a message to their wards inside prison about the escape plan in play. The warden becomes suspicious when he sees that two duties are assigned to the same three people. The boys poison their food to get admitted to the infirmary from where they plan to escape. Landa intercepts the plans, and the boys are caught trying to escape. Rayyan is killed by Landa when he tries to resist arrest. Landa then pushes their date of execution ahead of schedule.

Satya gets anxious and decides to tamper with the prison's power grid, aiming to disable the security system so all prisoners can escape. Bhatia sells his jewelry to fund this new plan, as Satya's money was spent already on the first plan. The prison's power grid has a main generator and a back up generator, and to bring them down, Satya intercepts the fuel trucks and mixes sugar into the fuel.

Muthu does not agree to this and tries to stop Satya. But Satya manages to kill him. Shutting the power grid off (by kidnapping the family of a power utility officer) however proves useless as the prison's generators remain functional. Satya adopts a bolder approach, resorting to explosives to create chaos within the prison. The desperate plan culminates in a thrilling escape where 6000 prisoners flood the corridors amid the power outage. Satya breaks into the prison to the execution room, where Landa was adamant on executing the 3 prisoners as per their schedule, despite the loss of electrical power. Satya reaches just in time and manages to knock Landa unconscious. While escaping Bhatia gets killed by a bullet.

Satya and the boys flee by boat disguised as Doctors Without Borders but are pursued by prison guards led by the menacing Landa, who nearly captures them. Just as it seems all is lost, Malaysian authorities intercept as arranged by Muthu earlier, killing the warden. This finally allows Satya and the boys to return to India.

Back home, Satya and Ankur revisit the house where they last saw their parents, closing a traumatic chapter. Satya, now victorious, confronts her memories and the lengths she was willing to go to protect her brother on a haunting note.
