To do so, she sets her sights on a famous necklace that once belonged to the Maharajah of Barodan and has not been seen since the partition of India in 1947. Sabine brings in Indi and Gema, a couple of old friends who help her execute the heist at a big society party thrown by JJ Singh for one of Bollywood’s hottest new couples.
