A harrowing indictment of systemic police brutality and corruption that traps vulnerable immigrant workers in an inescapable machinery of injustice.

Pandi and his friends, immigrant workers in Andhra Pradesh, are picked up by cops for a crime they never committed. And thus begins their nightmare, where they become pawns in a vicious game where the voiceless are strangled by those with power.
