An innocent Cambodian boy is sold to a Thai broker and enslaved on a fishing trawler. As fellow slaves are tortured and murdered around him, he starts to wonder if his only hope of freedom is to become as violent as his captors.

Parimal is a woman trapped in a man’s body. Unable to cope with the trauma of being ‘betrayed’ by his teacher Subhash-da, Parimal runs away from home and joins a ghetto of eunuchs as Puti and sings at traffic signals to earn money. There he falls in love with Madhu, a delivery boy with a Chinese restaurant who moonlights as a flautist in kirtans. The love blossoms even as Puti dreams of raising the money required for the sex reassigned surgery. But will society support their dreams?
