Jurmey is a restless teenager staying with his brother, Namgay, in Thimphu.
Being in the same class, same desk, for three years in a row, he is quite a bully at school. Once, the principal of the school finds him standing outside the classroom due to his misbehavior at class. As a result and way to correct him, the principal places him in the care of Jamyang, an exemplary student excellent in both studies and character. This is where the trouble begins.
Yangchen, a school beauty, finds Jamyang beaten to a pulp and decides to help him, more out of pity. They become friends much to the dislike of Jurmey who also happens to like her. The enraged Jurmey corners Jamyang in a classroom and beats him. The principal catches them red-handed and Jurmey is expelled.
Namgay is disheartened and tries advising Jurmey to be more responsible. Angry, Jurmey walks away from home and finds Jamyang and Yangchen walking into the woods, making their way to a secret hut where Jamyang invents homemade instruments like gun and crossbow. Here, Jamyang displays his invention to Yangchen. They prepare the gun to fire when Jurmey barges into the hut and threatens Jamyang. Yangchen is disappointed with Jamyang and calls him a coward. To prove his bravery, Jamyang fires the gun. Jurmey dodges and Namgay, who came after Jurmey, is hit and dies.
Scared, Jamyang runs away deep into the forest. On the way, he meets a hermit who helped him a bit. Tired and disillusioned, Jamyang reaches a monastery after loitering in the forest for more than two weeks.
Meanwhile, Jurmey decides to go to his village and stay with his grandfather. He tries to live a life of a farmer, his grandfather bullying him with sharp words and hard assignments. Drunk, he courts a village girl, Deki, and to his dislike, he is forced to marry her.
Jamyang stays in the monastery for a long time and decides to become a monk.
With the death of grandpa Wangdi comes self-annihilation of Jurmey. He learns that he inherited his parent's land in the village.
One day, Jamyang, now a monk, comes begging for alms in the village. As Jamyang leaves, Jurmey stands at the door holding his child and watches Jamyang going back to the monastery.
