The story is set in the village of Sutia, known as Barun Biswas's village. A series of rapes happened there. One day, Rishan and Damayanti were going in their car in the area and a girl came in front of them. Damayanti wanted to save her but the hero drove away. It was later known that the girl was gang-raped. The story tells how Damayanti will bring justice to the girl. The story involves a twist.

In a recent interview, Basabdatta said, “I was inspired by Tagore’s poem that one who does injustice and one who bears it are equally condemnable. I think it is right to protest injustice. Here I play a protesting girl. The role made me think in a new way. It will be one of my favorite roles.” She further added, “This is based on a true story. The story is set in Sutia and centres around the rape victim Nayana Mondal. The series will talk about a girl protesting for another girl. Damayanti symbolizes power and the storm of protest. I worked on the project because of the character, who dares to raise her voice against injustice and stop a crime like rape. I liked it immensely and learned many things. I will teach my daughter to protest against injustice in the future, too.”
