Viewers can expect a gritty crime drama with realistic effects and gripping storytelling, highlighting the unseen world of airport customs with Emraan Hashmi playing a calm and strategic officer battling against the international crime syndicate, focusing on power plays, moral ambiguity, and intricating tactics rather than brutal force and extreme blood-shedding violence.

As the web series is created by Neeraj Pandey, viewers can expect his signature style of storytelling which was previously seen in his works like A Wednesday and Special 26.
