Imran prepares and serves them dinner. After the meal, Elina takes Erin, a 14 year old girl, the daughter of Imran and Elina, out for a walk. In the meantime, Imran overpowers Roger and ties him to a chair then tortures him with a heated tongs and burns his genitals before strangling him to unconscious.
Two months ago, when Erin went to meet her mother in Roger’s apartment, Roger raped her and threatened Erin with dire consequences if she spoke about the incident to anyone.
Even Erin tries not to disclose this to anyone, but her father learns about it after a week of the incident when he sees a video clip in her laptop. The father never approaches to police as he fears that friends and relatives would blame his daughter for the incident and ruins the reputation.
Imran has been planning to take the revenge since the day he found out about his daughter’s rape. He gets furious whenever he learns the man happy with his ex-wife while his daughter is suffering.
So the father plots revenge against her daughter’s rapist in his own way!
This would be a film with a purpose. A message. And this film will send that message loud and clear to every viewer: RAPE IS A TRULY HORRIBLE CRIME! Horrible beyond what most of us could ever imagine!!
