These characters are based on the nine emotions that humans feel which are known as the Navarasa. The story begins with the introduction of two characters that are mariners and have just made their way back home. These mariners are oblivious of the severe political tension that surrounds the presence of an ancient dam. This dam happens to be just behind the home of the mariners.
