A ghost town, Mumbai, inhabited by millions. A lady on a mission, a man living a lie, an aimless drifter. They collide. Some collisions are of consequence, some not, either ways the city moves on.

This film is set in Mumbai following the parallel lives of an intelligence officer at the Narcotics Control Bureau who will go to any extent to live a lie, he has intimacy issues because of his physical condition but yet he wants to be known as a playboy in spite of his issues. He is in love with his married neighbor but... A Bangladeshi immigrant who is terminally ill and has come here to work as a “Mule” (human carrier) to make enough money to treat herself and take care of her child back home. There is love knocking around somewhere but… A young boy with misled notions of rebellion and freedom, which has driven him out of his Upper Middle Class homely comforts to the so-called dark and dingy underbelly of Mumbai. His existence is innocent, aimless and purposeless until he meets this woman, frail, lost, unaffected and mysterious yet beautiful. She is not his type, that’s what he thought but… In a nutshell “A criss-cross in the lives of the self-proclaimed social outcasts eventually leading to love and the destruction of it.”
