DaAGI – Plot
After spending fifteen years in prison, Nishan is finally free, but his past refuses to let go. Once entangled in the world of smuggling, he returns home only to find that life has moved on without him. As he struggles to rebuild, an old acquaintance resurfaces, drawing him back into the shadows he desperately wanted to leave behind. Caught between redemption and temptation, Nishan finds himself entangled in a dangerous game where old rivalries ignite once again and where buried truths resurface. As he forges unexpected bonds and faces unsettling revelations, he must confront the ghosts of his past to determine if he can truly break free–or if some sins are destined to chase him forever.
