Syed Qais, a Karachi-based insurance adjuster, is sent out to Waziristan to survey a fire at a tobacco warehouse in the FATA tribal region. He is persuaded to go on this dangerous journey by an old flame -- Sonya. There is also money to be made, money he can use to help fund his daughter's education in Karachi.
