Krishna Reddy (Deep Katdare) finally leaves his Indian family territory in suburban America for the duration of college, where he expects to shrug off the shackles of Indian culture and be known as Kris. But he’s horrified to discover he’s been billetted with a roomful of other Desis*, three Indian Americans college students whose links to their cultures (including chicken tikka masal) remain firm while their Western interests (in girls) continues in the balance. And when he starts falling for Nina (Purva Bedi), Kris finds himself in conflict with everyone encompassing him – including himself.
*Desi – Indian slang to describe anyone from India living somewhere else.
