The film opens with a young man photographing freshly cut apples and oranges for his Instagram story about a healthy lifestyle. However, in reality, several wrappers of junk food crowd his bedroom floor.

After sometime, he receives a text message from an unknown girl who claims he is an important part of her life. They converse in the same manner for a couple of weeks and develop a deep friendship and ultimately, decide to meet. When face-to-face, he recognises her as the acid attack survivor he had helped get to the hospital a couple of months ago.
