Newton Kumar, a young, earnest and by-the-book government clerk, is sent to conduct a voting election in a remote, conflict-ridden jungle village in Central India. Despite the apathy of the security forces assigned to protect him and the threat of Maoist rebels, Newton is determined to hold a free and fair election. His idealistic determination clashes with the cynical reality of the situation, leading to a tense and darkly comedic struggle for democratic principles.
