In a nunnery in the high desert mountains of Mustang, a revered abbess dies, leaving signs that she will be reborn once more. Prayers and rituals must be done to help her consciousness into its next rebirth, but the nunnery coffers are empty. The senior nuns decide that the only way out is to retrieve money loaned out by the nunnery. Two nuns are assigned this mission. Karma, a free-spirited nun, and her opposite, Sonam.
