When two boys are kidnapped in a border town in Nepal, Detective Inspector Pooja is sent from Kathmandu to solve the case. But when she arrives, the brewing political unrest and violent protests throw her off course, and she is forced to seek help from Mamata, a local Madhesi policewoman. By putting aside systemic discrimination and pushing through everyday misogyny, the women solve the case - but at what personal cost? Inspired by real events which took place in Southern Nepal during the 2015 race protests.

ನೇಪಾಳದ ಗಡಿಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಾಲಕರಿಬ್ಬರ ಅಪಹರಣವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಪ್ರಕರಣದ ತನಿಖೆಗೆ ಡಿಟೆಕ್ಟಿವ್‌ ಇನ್ಸ್‌ಪೆಕ್ಟರ್‌ ಪೂಜಾ ಅವರನ್ನು ನೇಮಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಪ್ರಕ್ಷುಬ್ಧತೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಎದುರಿಸುತ್ತಲೇ ಪೂಜಾ, ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ ಮಹಿಳೆ ಮಾಧೇಶಿ ಜನಾಂಗದ ಮಮತಾ ತಂಡದ ಜೊತೆಗೂಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ತಮ್ಮ ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕ ಜೀವನವನ್ನೇ ಪಣಕ್ಕಿಟ್ಟು ತಾರತಮ್ಯ, ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಪತ್ತೆಹಚ್ಚಿ, ಸದೆ ಬಡಿದು ಪ್ರಕರಣವನ್ನು ಇತ್ಯರ್ಥಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. 2015ರಲ್ಲಿ ನೇಪಾಳದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಜನಾಂಗೀಯ ಸಂಘರ್ಷದ ನೈಜ ಘಟನೆಗಳನ್ನಾಧರಿಸಿದ ಚಿತ್ರ.
