As a native of the state , Surjabala has an indescribable attachment to Manipur. Her arrival is highly anticipated by Nando, her caretaker and Taibungo, a local with a strong political influence. Naive Nando immediately becomes a fan of Surjabala's persona and way of thinking. Her honesty and progressive mind inspires Nando. This does not sit well with Taibungo, who is restless with Surjabala's eye-opening conversations with the villagers and young boys like Nando, upon whom his plans thrive. Taibungo is eagerly waiting for the report Surjabala is going to prepare, as it will decide the future of palm plantation in the given area and consequently, his business.
