Ashoka is a young boy whose father was a policeman killed on duty. As a result of this, Ashoka mother is very protective of him. The boy usually spends time with books, his dog and his mysterious neighbour Masa.
His only wish is to be a brave and helpful person like his father. One day Masa recounts the incredible story of Emperor Asoka and the war of Kalinga. How the following destruction made him give up war and try to save mankind from itself. The story goes on to tell how Asoka called the unknowns to use knowledge and create power to save mankind.
This power is contained in a medallion from a person with a pure heart and grants him great powers. The film ends saying that the world is a better place, with someone like Ashoka in it and that his father would have been proud.
