Primarily based on A.J.Cronin's 'Past This Place', this film narrates the story of an untiring campaign for justice. A younger man, studying about his father's wrongful implication in a fifteen-year-old homicide, vows to convey the true criminals to justice and launch his harmless father from 'kaala paani' (life imprisonment), for which he enlists the assistance of a press reporter, a retired police inspector and an unwitting prostitute who occurs to own some key proof.
