The year is 2022 when Aditi moves to Delhi for professional reasons. Things are going well for her which is why on her first weekend, she decides to unwind and heads out to explore the city. In the most unexpected ways, her path soon crosses with a photographer called Keshav, and the two quickly strike a friendship.

What begins as a potential romance, however, soon takes a disturbing turn when not only is Aditi unable to reach Keshav, but also finds his memory card full of photos of every moment she spent ever since setting foot in Delhi.

The entire narrative unfolds as a flashback from five years ago. Aditi is now located in 2027. As the two realities are eventually linked and explained, the plot is weaved with sincerity. It keeps the viewer engaged in the fate of the protagonist until the final revelation when all doubt is dispelled, and the title of the film and the ideas it stands for, are all explained for the audience.
