King Rama hunts down to slash the head of a dalit sage performing a forbidden heaven conquering penance so that 'dharma' or 'righteousness' in his kingdom is maintained. As a female voice narrates this mythical sanskrit story, in a small coastal town another dalit mercenary is taken to the place of crime by a powerful member of the deep state to figure out the means to camouflage a religious crime that has been committed with his active participation.
