Before long, he can't pay his bills, and he loses his toehold among Pakistan's cell-phone-toting elite. Daru descends into drugs and dissolution, and, for good measure, he falls in love with the wife of his childhood friend and rival, Ozi - the beautiful, restless Mumtaz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesperate to reverse his fortunes, Daru embarks on a career in crime, taking as his partner Murad Badshah, the notorious rickshaw driver, populist, and pirate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen a long-planned heist goes awry, Daru finds himself on trial for a murder he may or may not have committed.
