Durga is the victim of the atrocities of her sadist husband Sanjay Saikia an educated, well to do, tea estate owner in the state of Assam. The perverted Sanjay has no qualms in generalizing his attitude towards women-be she his wife, a prostitute, or his own daughter. With Sanjay doing everything to subjugate his wife, Durga's tribulations go on until she is driven to suicidal limits.

Steps in Sanjay's younger brother Sunil as Durga's savior. Sunil is gentle, cultured and the only one in the household who sympathizes with Durga. Sunil's presence provides a great psychological support to Durga who bears her husband's cruelties stoically.
