The film opens with Muhammad Arslan as a masseur describing how certain massage techniques can prevent serious neck injuries. In Rawalpindi, Sub-Inspector Naveed Mustafa Rizvi and Constable Arshad Anjum Habibi are on a night shift when they are alerted to the murder of Munshi, a homeless shoe-shiner. Munshi is found with his neck cleanly broken and his shoe-shining box missing. Naveed, hoping to redeem himself for past professional mistakes, asks SHO Cheema Mazhar Malik to let him investigate the case.
Naveed visits the market where Munshi worked and learns from a tea seller that Munshi had recently lost his shoe-shining box and had no known conflicts. While Naveed attempts to balance the investigation with caring for his ill daughter Arfa Nadeem, the autopsy report reveals that Munshi’s neck was snapped with unusual precision. The doctor notes similar deaths in the district involving unidentified or marginalized individuals, with one exception: an eighteen-year-old named Sunny.
Naveed and Arshad visit Sunny’s parents, who explain that no inquiry was conducted into their son’s death. They direct the officers to Sunny’s former employer, a mechanic who admits having previously beaten Sunny but denies involvement in his death. With no clear leads, Naveed and Arshad discuss whether the killings could be linked by a specific skill set. Arshad’s mention of wrestlers leads Naveed to consider whether someone trained in manipulating the neck could be responsible.
At a local wrestling compound, the head coach explains the strength and technique required to protect or injure the neck and mentions that wrestlers regularly receive massages to avoid injury. Concluding that a masseur might be responsible, Naveed orders local masseurs to be questioned. Among them is Ijaz, who objects to the officers’ treatment but offers no useful information. Ijaz, introduced here as the suspect known as Jujji, links the case to the earlier note about the skilled neck manipulation.
Arshad later reports that an eyewitness saw Sunny with a masseur before his death, and a composite sketch is prepared. In a quiet moment at the market, Naveed encounters Ijaz again as he offers him a massage and repeats remarks about the difficulty of snapping a neck. While paying, Naveed notices that Ijaz is wearing a ring missing a stone, a detail reminiscent of a ring Arshad had earlier wanted fashioned into jewelry. The completed suspect sketch then matches Ijaz.
Naveed confronts Ijaz, who attempts to flee. After a chase, Naveed shoots and apprehends him. Ijaz, also known as Jujji, is arrested for the string of murders.
The film closes with Naveed’s reflection: some murderers kill themselves, some kill people they know, and some kill strangers whose names they never learn.
