Being Cyrus centers around the lives of a Parsi family, the Sethnas. The story brings out the dark sides of some seemingly ordinary characters, who eventually go to unbelievable lengths to achieve their goals. Cyrus shows up at the Sethna's at their Panchgani bungalow, and offers to be an assistant to pot maker Dinshaw. He spends a year with them and in the process a romance seemingly brews between him and Katy, Dinshaw's wife. Other clandestine activities coincide with this; Cyrus receives some money for an undisclosed reason, and he is shown working on something in a lab setting. He then arrives at Dinshaw's brother, Faroq's house in a very Parsi locality in Mumbai. Faroq takes care of their father who lives in a room in their Mumbai apartment, and doesn't treat him too well. Cyrus befriends the father but Faroq loathes his proximity. Katy on the other hand, gets frequent calls from Mumbai, in a parallel unexpected development. Tina, Faroq's wife, befriends a policeman Lovely. In what follows, the plot slowly unfurls, revealing morbid and unanticipated sides of many personalities.
