Footprints tells the story of five college friends, who are settled in their lives. Mohsin, the protagonist, loves to capture the natural beauty of Kashmir through his still camera as he is going to lose his eyesight in the next six months that his non-Kashmiri friends are not aware of. He wishes to spend some time with his friends and invites them to Kashmir. Despite resentment of the families of non-Kashmiri friends, they make it to happen and the friends start their journey, which somehow from a charming expedition turns out to be an odious one.
