Synopsis
Lafcadia, a skilled and deadly Rajput warrior, works at the behest of a brutal local warlord who regularly sends Lafacadia to carry out such savage punishments as beheadings and pillaging raids of entire villages. Then one day, Lafcadia decides to go straight. In the middle of a massacre, a mystical encounter with a young girl brings about a moment of transformation in which the warrior drops his sword and vows never to kill again. Gathering his only son Katiba, Lafcadia hits the road and heads for his native mountain village. But the warlord who controls Lafcadia will not let his warrior go. The warlord soon dispatches a second warrior, the ruthless Biswas, to hunt down Lafcadia and bring back his head. Still Lafcadia will not be deterred. Challenging the strict codes of warrior life, he will sacrifice more than he could imagine in his quest for a peaceful existence.
