On a late night train travelling across India, a young man starts to let his nerves get the better of him as he becomes convinced that the shadowy man sitting opposite him is someone who intends to blow up the train with a suitcase bomb.

Sumit Pandey, a feared yet admired "bad boy" in a tier-2 city college, hides a truth he cannot face—his struggle with sexuality. With ambitions of winning student elections, his loyal friends back him, though they bully others. His fragile façade shatters when Shrey, an openly queer and unapologetically authentic student, arrives, earning respect that Pandey secretly envies. Torn between resentment and admiration, Pandey lashes out, ordering an attack on Shrey, only to find no peace. Realizing his true battle is with self-acceptance, he takes a small but hopeful step toward embracing his identity.
