21st Century Mumbai is a city of new money and soaring real estate, and property
kingpin Dharmen Shah has grand plans for its future. His offer to buy and tear
down a weathered tower block, making way for luxury apartments, will make each o
f its residents rich - if all agree to sell. But not everyone wants to leave; ma
ny of the residents have lived there for a lifetime, many of them are no longer
young.
As tensions rise among the once civil neighbours, one by one those who
oppose the offer give way to the majority, until only one man stands in Shah's
way: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher, once the most respected man in the build
ing. Shah is a dangerous man to refuse, but as the demolition deadline looms, Ma
sterji's neighbours - friends who have become enemies, acquaintances turned co-c
onspirators - may stop at nothing to score their payday...
