After losing his wife and son, Sagar turns to alcohol and performing at events. One night, he finds a deaf-mute boy in the trash, names him Raja, and adopts him. His life shatters when a rich man claims Raja is his grandson and accuses Sagar of kidnapping, leading to Sagar's arrest while real killers target the boy for witnessing a murder.

A lost child. A false accusation. A deadly secret.
