With cops on his tail for being charged with his wife’s murder, Vikram runs into Maya (Sonakshi Sinha) and manages to get refuge in her house on a rainy Mumbai night.

Maya accuses Vikram of the double murder but Vikram pleads innocence. The case is assigned to officer Dev (Akshaye Khanna), who must decode the mystery in three days whether Vikram is the victim of Maya’s deceit wrapped in beauty or is Maya indeed the damsel in distress that she claims to be?
