Jay Gohil, 36, works at Apollo Chemicals, a toxic chemical plant. He keeps a low profile for fear of making waves in spite of the fact that workers are dying of cancer due to exposure to Chromium Sulfate. His primary intent is to send his son to medical school so that he can provide a better life to his family. But when Jay’s good friend and colleague, Digant, is murdered after complaining about the toxic working conditions and no health benefits, Jay decides to take action against the Apollo Chemicals in spite of his wife Geeta’s resistance. Jay comes to the conclusion that Manoj, the union leader, is being bribed by Ketul, the owner of Apollo Chemicals. Jay steps beyond his fears and decides to create a new and ethical workers’ union that truly represents the workers’ rights. Jay realizes that he must not only find a way to support his family, but also overcome grave social and legal injustice in the system.
