In the mist‑laden hills of Arunachal Pradesh, a bustling road‑building project threatens the pristine wilderness that surrounds a remote village. The landscape is a living tapestry of towering trees, echoing calls of unseen wildlife, and an age‑old reverence for the forest that seems to pulse beneath every leaf. The film captures this clash of modern ambition and ancient myth with a tone that balances uneasy tension and lyrical wonder, inviting the audience to feel both the awe of untouched nature and the weight of inevitable change.

Bhaskar, a pragmatic road contractor, arrives with his spirited cousin Jana to oversee the assignment. Along the way they are welcomed by the charismatic local guide Jomin and the affable Panda, who embody the region’s warmth and its deep‑rooted connection to the land. Their camaraderie is laced with humor and light‑hearted banter, offering moments of relief amid the looming pressures of the construction agenda. Early interactions hint at a fragile balance between outsider intent and the community’s guarded guardianship of their forest home.

The story takes a turn when Bhaskar is bitten by a mysterious wolf, setting in motion an unsettling metamorphosis that blurs the line between man and myth. As his senses sharpen and an inner primal force awakens, he finds himself grappling with an unfamiliar, animalistic side that threatens to upend his sense of self. This enigmatic transformation fuels a quiet, suspenseful undercurrent, as he wrestles with the fear that the beast within might one day overtake the rational mind he relies on.

Surrounded by his quirky companions and a determined local veterinarian, Bhaskar embarks on a tentative quest for answers, driven by a longing to retain his humanity while respecting the forest’s ancient rhythms. The narrative weaves together themes of responsibility, love, and the delicate dance between progress and preservation, leaving viewers poised on the edge of discovery as the wilderness watches, ever‑present and patient.
