A distinguished lawyer takes on the case of a tribal woman whose husband has been arrested by the police and has subsequently disappeared from custody. The lawyer battles a deeply prejudiced and corrupt system to uncover the truth, facing immense opposition from the police force and the establishment. The film is a powerful courtroom drama that exposes systemic injustice and follows the relentless pursuit of justice for the most marginalized.
