Desperate circumstances in life lands them up with an agent who allures them with a better life in the distant cities. Betrayed in love and by the family members, they migrate under difficult circumstances and with different names and sneak into a cosmopolitan city. Itu, one of the girls in question, is in love with her music teacher. But she is sold off by her beloved to an agent involved in trafficking, after going through a painful abortion process. Fatima, an illegal immigrant, in search of her father who had deserted his family and settled somewhere in this country, is detained by the Border Security Forces for questioning on charges of terrorist links, and is raped by the defenders of law. The local police, instead of registering a case of rape against the forces, sales her to the traffickers. Soma, whose elder sister is a prostitute in the city, decided to take the same path as poverty does not leave her with any better choice. The fourth girl is a young widow who is also trapped by the traffickers. They get completely lost in the glitter and glamour of the city life. They now dream of making bigger money in a more developed city. Things become more intriguing when a European girl, who has suffered the same fate at the hand of the traffickers, starts sharing their apartment.
