In a remote village in Karnataka, a conflict erupts between the indigenous community and a forest officer over a piece of land believed to be sacred. At the center is a local champion, a volatile man with a deep connection to the traditional Bhoota Kola ritual. The dispute escalates, awakening a cosmic, mythological force that intertwines with the fate of the villagers and the forest.
