Vikram Sethi (Sidharth Malhotra) is a renowned British writer who is in Mumbai to launch his second book. 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 soon learns that Vikram could be a convict on the run and alerts the cops, who nab Vikram and discover the dead body of her husband Shekhar in the house. 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 she’s claiming to be?
Are the two murders connected? Vikam’s or Maya’s, whose version of story is true or is there a third angle?
