The film strives to be a story of finding happiness, hope and comfort in the most unexpected ways, aiming to be specifically relevant in our turbulent contemporary times. It wants to achieve the same by introducing the viewer to primarily three characters and their struggles. Using passion, love and companionship, and a desirable job, the narrative moves from one step to another.

While one character has given up on his dream to open a restaurant, the other is going through the heartache that follows a divorce. The third component of this trio is a man stuck in an exhausting job he absolutely abhors. When all of them come together for one night to help a friend with his cooking special for a show, unexpected developments and surprises await them.

The message the film wants to emphasise is about hope and to never give in to despair. Life has some unpredictable tricks up its sleeve, and the narrative wants to employ a sense of festive cheer and of coming together of people as an organic whole to help one another, to further communicate its intentions.
