Breathe: Into the Shadows

Avinash and Abha’s idyllic life turns upside-down when their 6-year-old daughter Siya is kidnapped. Several months pass, with all hope coming to an end, when the kidnapper contacts them with an unusual ransom demand. The ransom is not money but an instruction to kill someone in exchange of Siya’s life! Will Avinash take a stranger’s life to save the one he loves?

With blood on Avinash and Abha’s hands and patience wearing off, they cannot wait to reunite with Siya. Kabir stumbles upon a vital clue in the investigation and Avinash can feel the noose tightening. A rude surprise is in store when the kidnapper makes a fresh demand – another killing hit is given for another unlikely target! Avinash must continue his killing spree if he wants his daughter back.

Kabir gets deeper in the case with a vital clue coming from an unexpected source. Siya and Gayatri have a close call and barely escape the kidnapper’s wrath. Abha plays a dangerous game with the next victim, but a botched attempt to kill, leads to disastrous consequences. A major revelation comes forth that raises more questions than answers and threatens to change the very soul of the case.

The media frenzy around the killings push Kabir and team to the brink. Through this, Kabir painstakingly connects the dots and lands a vital lead that threatens Avinash’s mission to save his daughter. Meanwhile, an enigmatic woman enters the kidnapper’s life and offers a unique insight into the dangerous being. The next target is shared and turns out to be the most difficult kill yet for Avinash.

The kidnapper lives on the edge as he escapes a dangerous situation with the help of Shirley, the mysterious stranger in his life. Avinash has an accidental run-in with Kabir and it threatens to blow Avinash’s cover as he zeroes in on the target’s weak spot. Internal politics at the Crime Branch prevent Kabir from catching the kidnapper. Its all touch-and-go from here on.

As the saga speeds towards a conclusion, the kidnapper’s meticulous masterplan gives an insight into his fascinating inner journey. The spark lit by Zeba turns into a firestorm and Kabir faces suspension from the Crime Branch. Kabir confronts Abha as doubts loom large. Kabir’s prison wound takes a toll on him, with him going off the case. Avinash fights on as he enters the last lap of the mission.

The doctors treating Avinash are convinced that he is close to full recovery, with J’s existence being completely dormant. A loving birthday reunion for the Sabharwals turns into horror when J suddenly rears his head again and has a proposition for a shocked Abha. Things take a curious turn when Avinash is abducted from the medical facility by a mystery man who seems J reincarnate.

Combating his own childhood trauma, Victor executes J’s manic plan diligently, and the next Ravan head is ready to roll. Kabir is again on a collision course with his superiors as he opposes an essential departmental order. A touch-and-go chase ensues as Kabir is inches away from nabbing Avinash. Avinash and J pull Abha in different directions as she continues to keep Siya out of harm’s way.

Driven by desperation, Shirley strikes a deal with Kabir that leads to J’s arrest in the remote heartlands, far away from Kabir’s jurisdiction. This is yet another master move by J as the local jail becomes Avinash’s newest killing field before engineering a daring escape. Kabir’s patience runs out, and he brings Avinash’s escape to the fore, unleashing a wave of fear in the country.

A red herring move brings the newest victim closer to J and Victor, and a high-adrenaline attempt to destroy another Ravan head takes place. Hope floats for the Sabharwal family with the possibility of an escape to paradise. But a daring move by Kabir leads to Victor’s arrest. It threatens to block the mission leading to a pinnacle of desperation all around.
