In a desperate attempt to alleviate the conditions of his village, Gangaram plots to sacrifice himself in a tiger attack. During his search for a tiger, his path crosses with that of a poacher Jim Ahmed (Neeraj Kabi) with whom he forms an unconventional partnership. The story then follows his journey, highlighting social issues faced by the lesser fortunate.
