Dasru and Vaano lead an anonymous life as migrant labourers on a Mumbai construction site with their infant daughter Joram. A brutal turn of events compels Dasru to cradle Joram into a sling and flee for the distant forests he had once run away from for answers, and survival. Soon he has Mumbai cop Ratnakar in hot pursuit. Torn between duty, systemic victimisation, and the gradual realisation of how he is probably just a helpless outsider to the inner machinations of "development at any cost", Ratnakar finds himself shifting from pursuer to witness in a brutal endgame that seems like it may grind him to dust, like it must have thousands before him.
