Leela is saved from assassins by an ascetic, Mahakaal. The experience of being stranded with him in a forest changes her life forever. While the Police are unable to find Mahakaal, he emerges as a mysterious figure resembling the missing iconic Indian leader Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Leela's obsessive need to understand Mahakaal's 'ghostly' existence drives her through many conflicting experiences to a remote village Prithak Ghati, where her mentor Bharat guides her in unraveling the mystery. She realizes that Mahakaal is an entity buried by political deceit, who holds the key to a saner existence. Leela's quest is disrupted when Bharat becomes a paragon for nationwide public agitations, bringing him into direct conflict with powerful politicians. India is subsequently pulled into a two front war during an escalating global crisis. Can Leela triumph over destiny during her suicidal mission in a Himalayan war zone?
