­­Jahir, an ideal teacher, husband and father, finds fulfillment in his family and work – until he is elected upazila chairman of Mohoganj, a forested suburb. Initially supported by local youth, he steps into power with noble intentions, but the weight of expectations soon overwhelms him. Unable to refuse those who helped him rise, Jahir bends to mounting demands, compromising his principles.

As his moral compass wavers, he drifts from his wife, Jharna, and closest Ally, Ayub. The proposal to replace a slum with a luxury resort brings new influencers into his life: beauraucrats and lobbyists, who shape his daily decisions. His once-altrustic vision twists into a pursuit of power, control, and notoriety. Jahir’s transformation is stark: from a community hero to a feared authoritarian.
