Laila is a bright young teenage girl from Delhi, who is suffering from Cerebral Palsy. She’s an intelligent student studying at the Delhi University. She aspires to be a great writer and helps compose music for an Indie band at her university. She is ecstatic on getting a scholarship at the pristine New York University. Despite her father’s reluctance, she moves with her mother Shubangini, played by Revathi to Manhattan.

 

At the university, Laila is attracted to a boy Jared, played by William Moseley who helps her with creative writing. Later she meets a blind girl of Pakistani-Bangladeshi origin names Khanum, played by Sayani Gupta and falls in love with her. Laila gets confused with her sexual orientation as she is attracted to both Jared as well as Khanum. She sleeps with Jared and regrets it  but doesn’t tell Khanum with whom she has a relationship going on.
