The plot revolves around a sudden outbreak of communal riots in the small town of Ismailpur. Four persons, communal rivals to each other, namely Munni, Raghav, Shabnam and Jabbar, take shelter at an old woman's house. Each one of them has a heart-wrenching backstory connected with the riots. Though initially hostile, they eventually feel sympathy for each other and realise their pains are not different.
