In a rare act of goodwill, the Pakistani government reopens old prisoner cases, assigning young lawyer Saamiya Siddiqui to defend Prisoner 786 - silent for 22 years. Upon calling him by his real name, Veer Pratap Singh, the man finally speaks, revealing a tale of love and sacrifice. Two decades earlier, Veer, an Indian Air Force officer, had helped Zaara Hayaat Khan, a spirited Pakistani woman, fulfil her late nanny’s last wish in India. In the brief time they spent together, love bloomed. However, duty and societal pressure forced them apart.

Back in Pakistan, Zaara was bound to marry Raza Shirazi. When she realised her heart belonged to Veer, her friend Shabbo summoned him. Veer crossed the border for her, only to be imprisoned by Raza, who falsely labelled him a spy. Choosing Zaara’s happiness over his freedom, Veer vanished into obscurity.

Moved by his story, Saamiya finds Zaara living in Veer’s Indian village. Shocked yet hopeful, Zaara returns to Pakistan, testifies, and clears his name. Veer is acquitted, and the lovers reunite, crossing the Wagah border together, free, at last, to begin anew.
