In the impoverished yet gem-rich expanse of Panna, Madhya Pradesh, generations have scavenged the land for India's elusive diamonds. Prakash Sharma, an iconic diamond seeker, has been drawn to the mines for decades, fueled by financial necessity and familial tradition.

Yet, despite these hurdles and overmining leading to dwindling discoveries, the intrepid miners of Panna continue their ancestral pursuit, hoping to unearth fortunes amidst adversity.
