Throughout Southern India, 86 villages are set to completely submerge due to a government-sanctioned dam across the Krishna River. One such village, Nilgi, has so far avoided the illegal iron-ore mining and floods that have ravaged the district for decades, believing itself to be indestructible and incorruptible despite warnings of impending doom. One night, Reshma, a young orphan girl, appears alone in the village. Her presence, and the mystery of her origins, sets off a chain of events threatening the protests, the family and Nilgi itself. Soon, secrets and corruption flood the village along with the waters.
