SYNOPSIS: The story essentially probes the unsettling clash between faith and humanity, exploring how faith can push ordinary people to extraordinary and horrifying acts of cruelty and violence. Two school children go missing during the Charak festival - sparking fear and uncertainty among the local populace, and then a body of one is discovered, while another remains missing, and this ignites further panic and despair, and rumours abound as festival fervour is everywhere. The missing boy, Birsa is known to Sukumar, an auto rickshaw driver who along with his wife, Bimla have always coveted a child of their own and though they love Birsa who is the son of their troubled friend Bikash and his loyal wife Sabitri, Sukumar will go to any lengths to appease the Gods in the hope that they will fulfil his most fervent wish. Sukumar enlists the help of an Aghori Sadhu (an ascetic order of Hindu Holy men) who has a fascination with death - they often live near cremation sites, and their practices are rooted in medieval India, where superstition, mystery, and the occult flourished more widely. There is a police investigation which faces limited resources and experiences political interference - the pursuit of justice shifts from suspicions of sacrificial rituals to human trafficking, becoming even murkier when the body of one of the missing boys and a forest guard Baga, is discovered. And this is just the beginning of further twists and shocks.
