Mission: Chapter 1

Mission: Chapter 1

V. Gunasekharan (aka Guna, Arun Vijay) is a man from Chennai, India. His daughter, Sana, suffers a severe accident and urgently needs surgery in London. Due to the lack of time, Guna cannot transfer the operation cost through legal means, so he turns to a money-laundering agency for help. After depositing the money in India, the agent gives him a ₹10 note — a symbolic token that allows him to withdraw the money from their branch in the UK. Guna quickly flies to London and gets Sana admitted to the hospital. Thomas, a staff at that hospital who is a drug addict willing to do anything for money, overhears that Guna used a money-laundering service and plans to steal the ₹10 note. He and his gangster friends ambush Guna, attempting to rob him. However, Guna fights them off. When the police arrive, Guna — still defending himself — accidentally punches an officer and is arrested for assaulting a police officer. Now detained, Guna pleads with the jailer, Sandra James (Amy Jackson), to grant him one day of leave so he can sign the necessary documents for his daughter's surgery. Sandra, however, denies his request. Meanwhile, Omar Quadri (Bharat Bopana), leader of the notorious terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, plans to attack the same jail to rescue three of his imprisoned men. Omar hacks into the jail's automated systems, cutting communications, jamming mobile signals, shutting down the electric fences, and unlocking all cell doors.
