One evening Fazlu returns home with a second-hand trouser with a number of pockets for his son Ratan. His wife finds some foreign currency notes in its pocket while she was washing the trouser. They think that these currency notes to be of great value and huge money, but they are ignorent of how to exchange them. They seek help from Fazlu’s childhood friend Siraj. To encash the currency notes Fazlu and Siraj ride a ram shakle motor bike round one part to another part of the rugged Barendra Bhumi. Greed and high ambitions begin to allure them.
