Disillusioned with journalism, Sohail wants to change Kashmir for the better by starting a professional football club. He attempts to recruit his oldest friend Mustafa to coach RKFC and solicits funding from businessman Shirish - who knows nothing about football.

With financier Shirish and coach Mustafa onboard, and having selected a squad of players, Sohail must take care of formalities to ensure RKFC complies with league requirements.

In order to be accepted into a league-qualifying tournament, RKFC must recruit local star Shah - which proves difficult for Sohail as Shah has a confrontational history with Mustafa.

Shah joins the club and they travel to Delhi for the tournament, where things couldn't go worse - both on and off the field.

After the Delhi fiasco, strife has increased and it appears that various players have dropped. Sohail must find a way to keep Mustafa, re-sign Shah, and appease Shirish, who now wants to be more involved with club management.

After Sohail agrees with Shirish that they should bring in an international coach to increase RKFC's chances for success, it gets ugly when he informs Mustafa of this decision.

After international coach Douglas arrives and sees what a challenge it is to mount a club in Srinagar, Sohail and Shirish slowly move the club closer to league qualification.

When the players learn that RKFC's pathway to qualification is to play a security forces team at the local cantonment, a debate ensues as to whether they should participate in the match or not.
