The film follows the rise and fall of Hubba Bimal (Mosharraf Karim), who starts his criminal career as a small-time thug and gradually becomes a powerful don in the Hooghly district. He is pursued by Divakar Sen (Indraneil Sengupta), a tough and honest cop who is determined to bring him to justice. Along the way, Hubba faces various challenges from his rivals, his allies, and his love interest Maya (Tanisa Islam Mahi).
