An elderly lama recognises the extraordinary change coming to Bhutan with the introduction of democracy and is troubled by possibilities. He needs to ‘set things right’. The lama sends his young disciple Tashi on a quest to get him two guns before the full moon. The young monk is perplexed, knows nothing about guns beyond James Bond films and ends up in a crazy competition with a scheming American gun collector. Will the lama get the guns he needs?
