A goat herder, Gopi, is one day visited by a strange man in the forest. The man, Kesba, leaves him with a goat to take care of. A little before this we are also introduced to Gopi as someone battling terrifying nightmares, something that also portends what the rest of the plot has to offer. The two soon come to overlap in a manner that would alter the protagonist's fate irrevocably.

A world of outdoors, nature and the unknown that lurks within it is constructed for the viewer in the film. The final result shows dedication in terms of storytelling and the primary performance, even if not without a few misses within the sound department. The background score, however, is chosen with care to bring this reality to life.
