In a sequence a young boy is shown struggling for a good company after his passing of the school and entry in the college. He is isolated for not being the consumer of intoxications. All those around him treat him like a child which really frustrates him and to prove that he has grown-up as a young man now, he finds the easiest way and demonstrates his coming of age by consuming variety of intoxications.
In another sequence a rural inhabitation particularly the men-folk is shown drowned in the menace of alcohol. The play unfolds series of incidents where people influenced by drugs, alcohol and other intoxications create hell for themselves as well as for their loved-ones. Many precious lives are being charred in this fire of drug menace which is to be fought unitedly.
