The residents of Mashem in Goa are god-fearing people who are afraid to go against the word of a Godman in the village. Such is the fear in them that they fail to speak up even when they witness money being collected in the name of God and being stacked in the hermitage locker.

His father Ramdas ( Sharad Ponkshe) who is the local priest, asks Omkar to go around and collect money from the residents for the renovation of the hermitage. While doing this, Omkar comes across an old lady lying on her deathbed who cannot afford treatment because the nearest hospital is an hour away. By the time Omkar and his friend Bandya (Shriram Patki) get her to the hospital, she dies, and this jolts Omkar. He, along with his love interest Dr Swapna Bhosale ( Mrunal Thakur) and Bandya tries to get funds from the hermitage for constructing a hospital but to no effect.
