As a mute shop assistant accidentally witnesses a murder, would he go report the crime or keep to himself and fight his conscious given that there is no clear witness protection policy in place in India. Kanwal is a mute shop assistant who works in a regular chemist shop in a non-decrepit village. One ordinary salary night as he plans to celebrate the following day by paying obeisance at a Gurudwara and go shopping at the mall with his friend Jagdeep, the night takes the turn for worse. Stopping by as the chain of his cycle comes off to fix it, he happens to witness a murder. Would he go report it despite his disability or fall victim to shoddy probe generally aimed at saving the high ups? The narrative takes place in a small town and follows the protagonist's state of mind who feels caught between his elderly parents' insistence on keeping mum (pun intended) and his call of conscious?
