Subrata was a happy child, devoid of any anxiety and despair. His life was peaceful, bereft of any struggles. He had a good house, loving parents, friendly neighbours and siblings who loved him dearly. He spent his days playing made-up games, swimming in the nearby pond or going hunting for mangoes. He believed that his life wouldn't change, but there were sinister powers at play, and they had a darker agenda.
The stage is set for a nation ablaze as communal violence runs amok among its citizens. Friendships were broken and neighbourly courtesy ended with a knife in the back. Subrata and his family must escape but they cannot do it alone. They are being hunted by nefarious forces who are fixated on one thing only, the total annihilation of his family. They must pursue shelter and a new place to call home, which led to a journey of despair, grief and anguish which began on a bullock cart. Desperate to find safe haven and build a better life for themselves, they endure and persevere. Subrata watches and narrates the story of his family, the hurdles they faced, the enemies they made and the friends that have etched their names into the gilded hall of heroes.
