A Middle Eastern city where wealthy people used to live many years ago has now become a den of hooligans and ruffians. The black market in this country has spread its dirty claws into many other nations, controlled by underworld gangsters. Pathaan, an exiled foreign intelligence field operative, is assigned to take down "Outfit X", a private terrorist organisation that is planning massive attacks on India. Along the way, he makes amends with an ex-con and brings him along on his mission to kill the drug lord that murdered his father many years ago.
