After successfully completing his IRS examination, Kshitij joins the Income Tax Department in 1992. He subsequently gets transferred to Mumbai and gets inducted with a team consisting of Akansha Verma, Jayesh, Subir, and Ankita Sharma. Working undercover, the team uncovers Crores of black money, and persuades many businessmen to file realistic tax returns. Recounting his earlier years to Ankita, he narrates how he initially started his career; his tryst in Pune's Kareem Nagar and meeting with Tanisha; his subsequent inclusion in the team; and his frustrations with corruption and political interference. But his biggest challenge is yet to come in the shape and form of the elusive Sanjay Mewalal Sanyal - who is determined to get Kshitij transferred at any and all costs.
