What is the story of ‘Pritam and Pedro’?

The story of the series revolves around two people with completely different thoughts and styles.

Both of them meet at a juncture where they are forced to work together. Gradually this partnership turns into friendship and both try to get to the bottom of a big and dangerous case.
