Chumbak is a story of a 10 year old boy Dinu, who is unable to connect with the people around him. Dinu is fascinated by magnets. One day he goes out to give Tiffin to his father in his factory and a sequence of events follow. A group of boys take away Dinu's magnets on his way back. After this he meets a shepherd, who much to the amazement of Dinu transforms an iron piece into a magnet for him. Like the magnet connects Dinu with the shepherd, Dinu goes back and tries to connect himself with other people in the society through his magnetic innocence. Chumbak is the journey from the disconnected to the connected.

The year is 1955, and a great flood is coming to Northfork, Montana. A new hydroelectric dam is about to be installed in the mountains above the town, ready to submerge the valley in the name of progress. It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground. Most have duly departed, but a few stubborn stragglers remain – among them a priest caring for a sickly orphan, a boy whose fevered visions are leading him to believe he is a member of a roaming band of lost angels desperately searching for a way home.

When a rebellious teen embarks on a solo summer journey to connect with her roots, she finds herself in a new world, geared up for the ride of her life, and discovers she had the drive in her all along.
