The founder Chairman of one of the largest companies in India, Khanna Consumer Products and Industries Limited (KCPIL), dies of old age—and the inheritance he leaves behind is a splintered family and a cash rich and profitable corporate empire that is being lustfully eyed by its competitors.
The vicious internal power struggle amongst KCPIL directors affords an opportunity to the owners of two rival companies to announce hostile takeover bids.
A bitter takeover battle follows, limited not just to boardrooms and corporate headquarters but which spills into the streets in the form of assassination attempts and industrial espionage.
One of the takeover bids masks a diabolical terrorist plan against India. Will the takeover attempt succeed? Will the conspiracy of mass destruction and death against India that is being hatched by the secret terrorist organization Al-Kabeesh succeed? Will the children of the founder of the Khanna empire lose their inheritance to unscrupulous forces?
