In a village in Meghalaya, northeast India, several young men mysteriously disappear during the night. While the elders accuse passing strangers of kidnapping, the preacher sees the beginnings of an apocalypse lasting 40 days and 40 nights which will plunge the inhabitants of the village into darkness. Seen through the eyes of Kasan, a ten-year-old boy suffering from night blindness, the surrounding forests have never seemed so terrifying.
