In the end, Najeeb contrives a hazardous scheme to escape his desert prison. — msz The film revolves around a young Indian man named Najeeb, who is ambitious and seeking a better life. After hearing about promising job opportunities, he decides to leave his home country and travel there, hoping to find work that will provide a good income to support his family. Upon his arrival, Najeeb faces a series of unexpected challenges. Despite being promised a respectable job by a job broker, he finds himself forced to work as a goat herder in a remote desert area.
