Assam is blessed with a new Chief Minister who breezes in with progress, development, and prosperity for the state. His British bio-scientist teacher helps him usher in economic growth and ward off the fear of the one-horned rhinoceroses from becoming an extinct species. But disgruntled poachers swoop in on the scene. An assassination bid follows, which is foiled by Wise Owls, who are professional protectors. Who is the target of the ruthless murderers? Is it the Chief Minister or the elderly British Professor?
