Synopsis
The film is about love, hatred, corruption, competition for power and revenge. 'Yaiphaba' and 'Lemba' become victims to the trap set up by ill-minded 'Keirenjao'. He befriends politicians, police and militants to enable him to execute illegal works successfully. In sharp contrast, 'Memthoi' ('Keirenjao's' daughter) loves 'Nungshiba' ('Yaiphaba's' adopted son). With the passage of time, the rule of 'karma' plays out and 'Keirenjao' gets killed.
