Prathi (Prathi Srinivasan, based on herself), an Indian girl in her early twenties, is a college-dropout trying to figure out her life. While handcuffed by her kinky boyfriend, Ryan (Ben Hyde), the fire alarm goes off and he abandons her chained to the radiator. Distraught and rejected, Prathi is looking for answers. Instead, she gets her traditional mother, Padma (Pooya Mohseni).
