End is not the end it is just the commencement of a new era, a vicious cycle, which engulfs our life day to day.

The film intricately revolves around the life of three best friends Abbas, Jahangir and Aslam. Poverty stricken, looking for an opportunity to make a living for their big families. Their routine is hunting for jobs, as they have to shoulder their loved ones responsibility. After the denial of the loan from the bank because of bribery from the politician to the bank manager to oblige their candidate. They struggle to start their tea stall, pick up a hand loan from a new professor in their locality, also manage to run it but destiny had something horrifying stored for them, the professor is killed in an encounter as he was running his terrorist activities from that locality. During the interrogation the three innocent boys are pointed out as the killed one's acquaintance, the world spins as they are brutally interrogated (third degree) by the police but are given a second chance after the thorough interrogation. But life is not the same thereafter, the terrorist group takes the advantage of the situation and heinously using the various luring pretext which encourages and lures them to join their group, the money, the situation, the vengeance, compels them to join the group not realising that they were dubiously used and forced into this activity.

Curled into the entanglements, they just move deeper and deeper into the horrendous pit, committing crimes to sins.

Whether they manage to get out of this horrifying pit or become prominent one of them forms the crux of the story.
