[edit]

The story is about the life of an Indian Air Force officer Group Captain, Eashwar, who engages himself in a project called "Red Alert," which involves the renovation of condemned aircraft. He is 35, unmarried, and interested in the Research Wing of the Indian Air Force. Eshwar is assisted by Wing Commander Zakir.

As a cover, the research is being conducted at an Indian Air Force Academy. The cadets Jiji, Thomas a.k.a. 'Kokku' Thoma, and more especially Shradha Kaul provide comic relief.
