'Mayophy', a lady from a hill district of Manipur, falls in love with 'Basanta', a guy from Imphal. When she becomes pregnant, 'Basanta' abandons her. She tries to contact him, but to no avail. 'Kunjo' (Mayophy's teacher and Basanta's friend) leaves no stone unturned to help 'Mayophy' but denial becomes the only routine answer for 'Basanta'.
