Vishal Dixit (Emraan Hashmi), is a regular middle class man, settled in Bangkok with his wife, Anjali (Sayali Bhagat) and their 5-year-old daughter, Nikki who is suffering from kidney failure and is in need of an operation. Anjali and Vishal are trying to hold on to their deteriorating marriage which is already under tremendous pressure due to there daughter’s illness.
One ordinary day, on his way to work, Vishal meets Roma Kapoor (Geeta Basra), a beautiful, captivating woman. The attraction between them is instantaneous. Vishal gets to know her better and the two show each other photographs of their respective daughters and begin to talk. A mutual attraction develops. Vishal realizes that she too is a loner, trapped in a loveless marriage and the two begin meeting frequently. Ultimately, they decide to consummate their affair and end up in a hotel.
However an armed man named Tony (Aseem Merchant) bursts into the hotel room, and robs them, although Vishal pleads that he leave them, instead Tony beats Vishal, and rapes Roma. Vishal and Roma agree not to report the crime, as they do not want their spouses to learn of the affair. Shortly after, Vishal is blackmailed by Tony, who threatens to reveal the truth to his family if he does not pay him, which Vishal promptly does. A month later, Tony calls again, this time demanding 1 Lakh which is meant for Nikki operation. Vishal refuses him outright however Tony later on successfully enters Vishal house by befriending Vishal’s wife and daughter and out of earshot repeats his demand or he will kill Vishal’s family.
Vishal explains his situation to Charlie (Suresh Menon), an ex-con who works as a cameraman in his advertising team and a close family friend whom Vishal had earlier befriended. Charlie offers to scare off Tony for a percent of the payout and Vishal agrees. He and Charlie travel to the meeting location specified by Tony, intending to catch him by surprise. However, before they can act, Charlie is shot and killed. Tony appears and takes the money, leaving Vishal to dispose of the body. Afterwards, Vishal is questioned by Officer Asif Ahmed Khan (Rajat Bedi) about Charlie’s murder. Later, Vishal receives a call from Tony who claims that he will kill Roma if Vishal doesn't deliver the 1 lakh. Vishal takes the money from the account meant for his daughter's medical treatment and makes the payoff. Later on the family doctor phones to inform him they have found a donor match for Nikki and can do the operation, however a defeated Vishal knows that he can’t pay for his daughter operation.
