Dr. Raghav Shastri, NASA's youngest scientist, returns to his homeland, carrying a mix of scientific ambition and personal doubt. He confronts a society marked by loud religious devotion while preparing to re-enter the national security project. The homecoming sets the stage for a mission that could reshape coastal protection.

He is invited by the government to work on a radio frequency project aimed at strengthening coastal security. He weighs his career against political and cultural tensions at home as he accepts the assignment. This marks his official entry into the ISRO-centered mission.

A terrorist cell lands in Pune with orders to kill Raghav and derail the project. Anti-Terrorism squads mobilize to track Hafiz and Rashida while the city reels from the imminent danger. The threat immediately tests his sense of safety and loyalty to the mission.

To protect him, authorities relocate Raghav to a lavish apartment complex rather than a hotel. The gleaming building houses a surprising temple to Swami Samarth, highlighting the collision of his secular stance with local faith. He senses the arrangement is both protective and uneasy.

Within ISRO, he is warmly welcomed by his superior Dr. Vyas, but a rival, Dr. Ballar, resents his inclusion. The tension foreshadows professional storms and tests of loyalty. The team dynamics set the stage for competing pressures around the project.

A bombing attempt at a Pune mall confirms the real danger surrounding the mission. Hafiz is identified as the perpetrator, escalating the AT investigation. The incident heightens the sense that the clock is ticking toward the deadline.

The night before project submission, a Swami Samarth festival erupts inside the complex, and Raghav is briefly manhandled by the residents. In a desperate bid to proceed, he blackmails Dr. Vyas into promising to shut down the temple forever. Police are called in to shutter the temple, while Raghav remains unaware of the personal costs.

A password locks away Raghav's project in the system, and his daughter's inadvertent actions erase his memory of it. The security barrier turns personal as access to the work hangs on fragile memory and luck. The situation forces him to choose between scientific progress and the sacred space around him.

God Swami Samarth appears to test Raghav's atheism, challenging his belief that science should stand apart from faith. The encounter pushes him to weigh the meaning of faith against the life or death stakes of the project. It blurs the line between science and spirituality.

ISRO imposes a three-day deadline to keep or lose the contract, intensifying the race against time. Dr. Deshpande suggests Dr. Satyajit, a hacker who can unlock the password from Sriharikota, offering a potential way forward. Raghav prepares to depart with his family toward the coast beyond the security fences.

Raghav's mother emerges from the shadows to reveal herself to his wife and granddaughter, forcing him to confront the truth about his past and his father's death. This revelation reframes his motivations and undermines his assumptions about safety and belonging. It deepens the personal stakes behind his scientific mission.

Choosing family and faith, Raghav leaves for Sriharikota with his wife and daughter, signaling a pivot from solitary ambition to a blended path. Contingency plans unfold behind the scenes as the clock continues to tick. The journey hints at a resolution where science and spirituality can coexist.

The deity Swami Samarth remains a quiet guide, offering clues through a pilgrimage his father hoped to complete at Akkalkot. The pilgrimage provides a symbolic road map toward a resolution that balances duty, belief, and personal redemption. The story closes with a fragile equilibrium between science, tradition, and forgiveness.
