Ryan is 15. With exams over, this thrill-hunting adventure-loving young man now spends most of his time on the Internet, scavenging through myriads of websites that feature the mysteries of science and technology. And there one day he comes across a little discovery made by some scientists of some astonishing species of snail that carries Uranium in its shell, on a barren island in the largest mangrove forest in the world located in the south of Bangladesh. Ryan instantly decides to visit this island and find out those snails and extract the Uranium to produce electricity and resolve the power crisis in the country once and for all. Hearing about the expedition, six of his loving friends including Sanjana also join in. All seven crusaders then start off to experience the adventure of their lifetime. On the way to the magic snails, one after another, they meet terrible obstacles and challenges but these born fighters are not to back down as they are charged with the spirit of our great liberation war and equipped with the aptitudes of information technology.
