Lalitha  is a middle-class south Indian girl, who is on her way to New York to study politics with full scholarship, and Nikhil is a rich Punjabi boy, who goes to study filmmaking in London on his fathers’ money.

The two decide to hang out together one evening in London and find that they are completely drawn to each other even as their future lies on separate continents. The film follows their personal journey and their complicated love story as they meet in London, Paris and then New York for one night over a period of eight years. The film is in three chapters and each chapter will be shot in a manner that mirrors the mental state of Nikhil and Lalitha.
