'Sikandar' is the story of Sikandar Raza, a 14 year old schoolboy who lives in Kashmir. He is the victim of a militant attack that took place 10 years back, in which he lost both his parents. An orphan since then, he lives with his aunt and uncle, in a small town in Kashmir. He has only two desires in his life - to keep his foster parents happy and to score a goal on the football field. One day, while returning home from a school football match, he finds a gun lying on the path.

 

Despite being discouraged by Nasreen, a 14 year old girl he has just become friends with, Sikandar picks up that gun. That one moment changes his life forever, beginning his journey into the darker side of his nature. Acting as Sikandar's conscience keeper, the quiet yet strong Nasreen tries to put him off from being allured by the gun. However, her efforts go in vain and Sikandar is sucked deeper into situations beyond his control, and people get killed.

 

As new situations arise, initially, it seems that there is no connection between the latest events and Sikandar's predicament. However, as the mystery unravels, the kid comes across as an innocent victim. In fact, he seems to be a puppet, who is playing in the hands of militants, army, peace-bartering politicians and even religious heads of the little Kashmiri town. As the climax comes, the pieces of the puzzle starts falling together and result in an outrageous disclosure.
