Whilst he is there, he recalls how he lost his wife and young son to a suicide terrorist attack, during his placement at the Indian Embassy, in Kabul. He, alongside Ayesha, works together to run his late wife’s NGO. Naseer tries to bring joy to the children in the camp, through cricket. He tries to make a team of displaced boys that were victims of the Afghan war. Naseer tries to get the boys to work together and put aside their differences through cricket. He constantly faces the threat of Qazar and his men, who want to use the boys as soldiers and suicide bombers.
