Plot 
Asad (Sami Khan) wakes up in the middle of a jungle, injured with no memory, having a bag full of money. He finds out, on the radio, that Police is looking for the fugitive responsible for looting a bank. He is soon approached by Haider (Shamoon Abbasi), who tells Asad that the money belongs to him. Haider leaves with the bag full of money, whereas the injured Asad follows him.

On escape, Haider loses his way out from the jungle. He is also followed by hungry wolves. On the other hand, Asad's memory keeps coming back as ‘flashbacks’ along the way as he follows Haider. Asad realizes that he looted the money to save the life of his ailing daughter and that the money never belonged to Haider.

As the story progresses, the stakes for both Haider and Asad get higher. Food, water and the harsh conditions of the jungle all contribute to make things difficult for both of them. They also encounter the hungry wolves in the wild.

Haider then encounters the Police Search Team. He is followed by two members of the team, whom he kills instantly with a single strike of his knife. This is all witnessed by Asad hiding nearby.

Asad musters up his courage and follows Haider, only when Haider realizes that he is being followed he stabs Asad. Severely injured Asad is near-death when he visualizes his daughter dying. He dedicatedly goes after Haider one last time. The all-powerful, ruthless Haider and the injured, near-death Asad encounter for the final time in a brutal raw fight, where Haider is at last struck down with his own knife.

Haider lies in the middle of jungle and is eventually attacked by the hungry wild wolves, while Asad escapes the jungle to save his dying daughter.
