‘‘You come from a family of terrorists.’’

A malicious, low blow.

That one schoolyard taunt propels Afzal, an impulsive sixteen-year-old in Shimla, to do something big enough to clear his family's reputation.

He concocts a hare-brained scheme to sneak into Pakistan, capture the dreaded terrorist Latif and drag him back to face justice in India.

Since teenage recklessness loves company, Afzal's best friends, smart-ass Beena and goofy-ass Rupinder, are roped into his quarter-baked plan.

The three slip across the border into Pakistan, but before they can say 'Oh, shit!', intelligence agents, terrorists and drug dealers are hot on their tails-armed to the teeth and baying for blood.

What do they do?

Abandon the mission, surrender and force the Indian government to barter their lives for a dozen imprisoned terrorists, Latif's psycho companions?

Or continue with their quest ... but risk certain death?
