Aamis (Ravening) is about Nirmali, a married paediatrician, who lives a peaceful but monotonous domestic life in Guwahati, Assam. She later gets attracted to Sumon, a Ph.D. student researching on the food habits of Northeast India. While Nirmali is shown to be in her late 30s, Sumon is a younger lad.

The film centres around the shared love for food, especially, non-vegetarian. The two bond over food. Lima Das, Arghadeep Baruah, Neetali Das, and Sagar Saurabh play the main characters of Ravening.
