Akaay Kapoor is fire incarnate-ruthless, consuming, and merciless. By day, he commands a world of opulence; by night, he becomes a relentless kingpin, dealing in death and controlling all who dare enter his blazing empire. His meticulously crafted realm is a searing inferno that scorches anyone who draws near. But even fire meets its match. Vaani Rathore, a criminal lawyer with an irresistible allure and a mind as sharp as a blade, infiltrates Akaay's world like a chilling, unyielding current. Raised in the underbelly of the mafia but untouched by its brutality, Vaani is both a seductress and an enigma. She slips through Akaay's defenses with lethal elegance, driven by a quest for revenge against the ex who betrayed her. Yet, she's unprepared for the intensity of the flames she seeks to extinguish.
