Nandini is a carefree young woman who lives happily with her guardian in Canada. She is introduced to Shekhar and they get married quite spontaneously and are expecting a child soon. One day, Shekhar learns that his family is in trouble, back in India. Nandini is confused as she believed that he was an orphan, but Shekhar explains to her that his family belongs to an extremely feudal society, and unable to bear the factions and violence in the community, he migrated to Canada. They decide to travel to India in order to assess the situation.
Shekhar and Nandini are an Indian couple living in Canada with their young son Raja. Shekhar hears news of violence in India, and the family journeys to his ancestral house, which is in a rural town of Bihar, the North Indian State of India. Nandini is shocked to see that Shekhar's family is deeply patriarchal and embroiled in feudal gang wars, lead by Shekhar's father Narasimha. Shekhar tries to bring an end to these feuds but is attacked by a rival gang and killed. Nandini, having been suddenly made a widow, decides to leave India with her son but Narasimha does not allow this and virtually imprisons them. Desperate to escape, her only allies are Shekhar's mother and sister. Wanted by Narasimha, Nandini seeks help from drifter Jai Singh who, after hesitation, helps her and her son board a train to [[Jaipur]]. Jai engages in a fight with Narasimha's men and successfully protects Nandini and Raja, but he dies. Shekhar's mother emotionally begs Narasimha to let Nandini and her son go, but he does not relent. At the airport, Narasimha becomes overwhelmed with emotion after interacting with his grandson and allows Nandini and Raja to peacefully leave and go back to Canada.
 
The couple arrives in Shekhar's home town in Bihar, where his father Narasimha is an influential man with rustic habits, who doesn't find Nandini to be traditional enough for his son. Nandini is uncomfortable with the casual approach to violence that she and her son Raja see in the household. Narasimha's wife is a kind-hearted person who takes care of Shekhar, Nandini and Raja. She requests them to remain in India for a few more days in order to celebrate Shekhar's birthday, and during this time Shekhar is killed by Narasimha's rivals. Nandini is distraught and tries to take her son Raja away from this madness and violence, but Narasimha stops her from doing so. He says Raja must be raised in a traditional way in order to avenge his father's death, and if needed Nandini can leave the town by leaving her son behind. Nandini refuses to allow this and, with the help of Narasimha's family members, she escapes from the house with her son. Jai Singh Drifter, a petty thief, helps Nandini evade Narasimha's man in order to board a train to Jaipur. Jai is killed in the midst of violence whilst trying to protect Nandini and her son. Narasimha continues to pursue Nandini, but ultimately allows her and the child Raja to leave, after emotionally interacting with his grandson.
