In the ancient kingdom of Sialkot, a young prince named Rasalu is restless to prove his courage. Disguised in a simple cloak, he sets out beyond the markets and fields of Punjab toward the mysterious Black Hills where travellers vanish and whispers of danger echo in the dark. On his path, two talking birds, a wise parrot and a wary crow, warn him of a giant who traps strangers with riddles and never lets them leave. Armed with kindness, wit, and a steady heart, Rasalu must face the riddle, battle the giant, and discover what true bravery means.
