Sometimes, an innocent action can lead to unforeseen, complicated, startling circumstances. The Bhaarats, a loving close knit family who live in Pune, discover this much to their dismay, when police swarm their peaceful neighbourhood. What is more surprising however, is the fact that aaba, the elderly grandfather of the Bhaarat family, finds himself in the police clutches as the only suspect for a crime committed barely twenty feet from their home.

The Bhaarats' new neighbours happen to be an American couple who are still wary of the enigma called India. Will they ever accept India and trust her 'Indianness'?

Is aaba able to prove his innocence or is the police successful in proving his involvement in the crime? What does India teach the Americans when their lives are touched by Indians from different walks of life as their paths cross?
