In 1945 Delhi, Indian soldiers in khaki uniforms are brought into the Red Fort, chained and battered, on orders to be shot for being traitors; in 1996 Singapore, Old Sodhi is catapulted into his past he had kept under wrap.

After surrendering a winning battle to the British in the Battle of Singapore, all the Indian and Australian soldiers of the British Indian Army are taken as prisoners of war and displayed by the Japanese in a march to the city of Singapore.

In an attempt to escape some Japanese soldiers, Rajan and his flunkies find themselves enlisting in the INA by chance.

As Old Sodhi, Amar and Rani make a run for their lives from the Burmese soldiers, Maya and young Sodhi embark on their freedom journey from Rangoon toward India.

Maya and a team of ranis and other soldiers keep patrolling the hills and jungles in the hope they'll stumble upon the other soldiers retreating from India.
