As a cyclone looms over the state of Telangana, two meteorological scientists, Mohan and Krishna, converse about misguided religious belief systems and superstitions. Mohan’s new-born daughter is feared by an acclaimed holy man to bring danger and death to the family. 
To this, an amused Krishna replies by narrating a story from his village during a dry spell. On the suggestion of a swami, the starving villagers decide to plant and worship a tulsi plant for four continuous days to appease the raging god of rain. 

 However, the procession is deemed to succeed only if the blood of an innocent girl is sacrificed, who eventually turns out to be daughter of the village president. The film showcases how fear and misbeliefs often lead to unreasonable actions by humans which are ultimately aimed at satisfying their own greed.

The film aims to be an honest engagement with these concerns, and thereby presents the protagonist's internal conversations for the viewer to participate in.
