Getting back to consciousness after three days in a hospital in New York, multimillionaire Delwar Hossain looks for his son Tanjil with a mysterious smile on his face. As Tanjil enters the cabin, he knows right away that there is something behind that smile.

Hossain tells his son that being the third richest industrialist in Bangladesh, living just to make more money makes no sense. Even though he has come up with a million dollar idea, it will not generate, but lose at least a million dollars from the business.

It's actually an experiment- 15 percent profit from all of his businesses will be spent on the general people of Bangladesh.

Besides, they will select and focus on a certain group of youth, and assist them with required knowledge and training.

Naturally, he is considered to be a crazy person. Even his brother-in-law, the CEO of one of his ventures, stands against him.

Could Hossain and his son stick to their plan? Did they succeed in creating a battalion of super talented youth?
