Synopsis

The film is about love, hatred, corruption, competition for power and revenge. Yaiphaba and Lemba become victims to the trap set up by ill-minded Keirenjao. He befriends politicians, police and militants to enable him to execute illegal works successfully. In sharp contrast, Memthoi (Keirenjao's daughter) loves Nungshiba (Yaiphaba's adopted son). With the passage of time, the rule of karma plays out and Keirenjao gets killed.
