Living in an orthodox society which looks down on pre-marital sex and teen pregnancy, Ananya and Pranav find themselves in a fix when their home-experiment for a pregnancy test results in a positive. Ananya’s mother soon arrives to find her in dire emotional straits, and after some probing, she finally reveals the truth. <br><br>
As the two women undergo an intense experience, one that is especially and unnecessarily burdensome for women in a patriarchal society, shaming and rejecting them for an unplanned pregnancy, the story comes into existence. Whether the narrative itself subscribes to the moral policing of female bodies or condemns it, remains unclear. However, at the same time, Ananya finds herself reaching a new space of warmth and understanding with her mother at the end of it all.

The film follows a young, in love couple who meet up discreetly for their dates and outings. One fine night, they are able to convince the girlfriend's parent for a night out under the deceit of her staying over at a friend's place. Their special, happy night is brought chaos by brutal and terrifying goons who abduct them and take them to a secluded construction site where the abductors try to take advantage of the situation. <br><br> The male protagonist, lying hurt on the ground, trails off to his past, difficult memories, moments in which he had lost all hope. He narrates his dreadful experience in school when he was bullied by fellow classmates or the time he was almost hit by a truck or when his mother was struggling to survive on the hospital bed. He reveals that even after such adverse circumstances, he never lost faith in the higher, superior authority, the one he looked out for and was supported by when all is lost. This, in turn, eventually allows the realization of the title in the plot of the film as well.
