Minni resides in the most impoverished section of Mumbai, where access to water is scarce, and the communal taps are often overcrowded. However, even that limited access has been jeopardized by severe water shortages and thieves who steal this precious commodity. One night, Minni accidentally witnesses a theft of water taking place.

Meanwhile, she has recently begun working in a high-rise building where water flows effortlessly from every faucet and there is even a rooftop swimming pool. It seems like a paradise compared to her previous situation.

One day, Minni encounters the leader of the water mafia, a powerful figure who controls the city's water supply. Faced with her biggest dilemma yet, Minni must decide whether to expose the mafia boss, risking her job and possibly her life.

How did Minni's future become so complicated? The story takes place in Mumbai, India, where water scarcity and corruption are prevalent issues.
