Poverty, debt, and starvation define the existence of a group of laborers. As outcasts they face extreme resentment from other village folk and journey to a faraway place in search of sustenance. Once there, another series of nightmarish events unfolds and their lives continue to mirror the age-old clash between the wealthy and the downtrodden. In a desperate attempt to return home, the group escapes to a forest where it encounters nature which is no longer benign. Will this group complete its journey? Or is ‘home’ a mere illusion, forever beyond reach?
