Spring of 1989. Nestled high in the Indian Himalayas, where even birds fly low to avoid losing their way amidst the dense clouds, Dev, a soft-spoken man, owns an extensive estate filled with numerous orchards. He lives with his family in a charming colonial-style home. Dev often spends his mornings crafting human-sized wings, which he dons to take brief flights over his land. One day, while strolling through his property, he stumbles upon a single apple tree that has been burnt. Days later, more trees suffer the same fate. Concerned, Dev and his manager begin closely monitoring the plantation workers, which stirs unrest among them. Suspicion falls on a group of nomads, and a corrupt police officer soon becomes involved. Meanwhile, loyal workers set up night watches throughout the orchards to keep a vigilant eye. Despite these precautions, a massive blaze erupts a week later, consuming an entire mountainside covered in trees. In his desperate quest to find the arsonist, Dev turns to armed force. The slow destruction of the orchards compels him to confront harsh truths about himself and his family.
