The goal of their captors is to force them to confess to being terrorists, even though they are innocent. The friends are subjected to grave injustices as their captors try to break their spirits.

Throughout this dreadful experience, Ruhal, Asif, and Shafiq struggle to maintain their sanity and hold onto their hope. They find solace in each other's company and support each other as they endure the brutality of their circumstances.
