In the shadow of misty mountains that separate India from Myanmar lies Nagaland—the Land of the Hornbill—where centuries of tribal tradition collide with modern geopolitics. Here, peace hangs by a thread as delicate as a spider's silk, woven through decades of insurgency, colonial wounds, and promises of autonomy that remain unfulfilled.
When Kevitsu, the charismatic opposition leader poised to become the next Chief Minister, narrowly escapes an assassin's bullet, the fragile peace process begins to unravel. Days later, the current Chief Minister's young nephew vanishes in a precision kidnapping that leaves security forces reeling. Across remote villages near the Myanmar border, mysterious convoys move under cover of darkness, carrying weapons that whisper of foreign interference and renewed bloodshed.
As Indian Army Intelligence officer Rupam Gogoi races to connect these events, he uncovers a conspiracy that extends from the bamboo huts of border villages to the marble corridors of Delhi. Behind closed doors, ambitious politicians calculate how tragedy might be transformed into opportunity, while ancient tribal loyalties clash with modern aspirations.
