New York University film student Krutin Patel debuts with this cross-cultural drama about a pair of Indian-American 20-somethings.

Meanwhile, Nina's workaholic brother Raj (Faran Tahir) is set for an arranged marriage with pleasant Tejal (Adriane Forlana Erdos), but he has eyes for sexy white co-worker Julia (Jennifer Dorr White).
