Lucky (Lakshmi) is married to Kris (Krishna). They are both gay. In their families, you grow up and get married - that is the only option that does not bring embarrassment on your family.
Lucky and Kris are friends. Their arrangement is that they can date other people. They live far from their families and do what they want.
When Lucky's grandmother falls, she goes home to help her mother take care of her. When she gets home, all of the rules she had when she was a kid are back in place.
While she is home, her best friend from high school comes over - Nisha was also Lucky's first girlfriend, with whom she is still in love.
Sindu has written a rich story of going against others wishes to be who you need to be for yourself, and the consequences of that choice.
