Young and impressionable, Prema is deeply infatuated with
Yudas, the enigmatic man who dredges corpses from the bottom
of the nearby lake. Longing to be rescued from the tyranny of
her father, a former policeman who zealously tortured Naxalite
rebels during the Emergency, Prema dreams of escape and finds
herself drawn to the Naxal political ideology. Convinced that
Yudas was one of the inmates at her father's prison camp,
Prema believes that only he can save her. But Yudas is haunted
by secrets of his own and, like his biblical namesake Judas
Iscariot, bears the burden of crushing guilt.
