On the day of their departure from Darjeeling, Ankur disappears mysteriously, leaving Rimli all alone to frantically search for him. Here enters the policeman Robin Dutt, who tries to trace Ankur, but in vain. The story then moves onto a group of friends partying and having a good time, where Robin, who is one of the guests, narrates the story of Ankur and Rimli to his friends.
