Violence increased in the absence of law and order. Within a few years, the city gets divided into five major colonies, all fenced up, have their own rules, laws, and leaders. Dhruv, only nine at the time, gets stuck in the city. His father dies in the epidemic, mother is mentally ill with Schizophrenia. In the absence of law and order, he must do everything to survive.
