Everyone has his or her karma to play for the betterment of the nation. Some are born for a special role to play and to be a part of that role-play, you are into those circumstances by a fortunate stroke of serendipity. The story runs around three small-town girls, unknown to each other and with different skills and temperament. The circumstances bring them together to be warriors. It is a story about being bold, courageous and a human being with social responsibility.
