To celebrate their fifth anniversary, Aritha, a blogger, and her husband Kesav, a film producer, travel to crisis-ridden Sri Lanka from Mumbai to tour the historical places tracing the Indian epic Ramayana. When three masked men enter their bedroom in a hill country bungalow and steal their mobile phones, laptops, and Aritha’s camera, the couple goes to the police.
