Jasmeet Jass Bhamra, single mother and a stellar cop, is left wrecked after witnessing the murder of her only son when theyre out over the weekend. In deep grief and unable to cope with the loss, Jass tries to piece her life back together and gets herself posted to a different town. Just when she begins to make peace with her past, the town is jolted by the mysterious murder of a local teenage boy, the son of Indian immigrants. That the finger of suspicion is on another Pakistani boy causes rift between the communities that have historically witnessed bloodshed.
Unhealed wounds fester again as Bhamra tries to negotiate her space in a new police station where old timers are set in their ways. What initially appeared to be an unassuming, middle class, small town full of hard working people from the Indian subcontinent reveals its complexities as cockroaches come out of woodwork. Secrets are spilled, communities are fractured, innocence is lost and a complex web of intergenerational prejudices comes to the surface. Jass must face the demons of her past in order to get justice to the boys grieving family and more importantly, find closure for herself.
