When two broken people try building a home together, what they often require is more than just each other. As Vikas and Kavya struggle to find the keys of their conflicts in one another, they are stuck in a relentless loop that troubles every relationship, and does not let them move on, inch closer to each other or to themselves. In this journey of finding a home, will they ever be able to break out and find their own selves?
