Four people- Tilottima, Salim, Rahul and Rajubhai from 4 disparate worlds of dissimilar backgrounds. The runaway bride, Tilottima Punj is on top of the world because she's married Hemant, who she met and loved through the Internet. In spite of their sizzling chemistry, their honeymoon is cut short because he has to return to his job in USA. Now Tilottima will do what it takes- fight with mother-in-law, lie to the immigration officer- just to wing her way back into her husband's arms.

The fugitive stockbroker, Salim Rajabali is the stockbroker son of a Godmother. He's besotted by the much older but sensuous Namrata. Even as he involuntarily gets involved in a killing, he discovers that she has been cheating on him. Before the shattered man can gather his wits, his mother forces him to pack his bags and flee the country before he's implicated further. The excited student, Rahul Bhide is a brilliant but poor student who's already got admission into a prestigious university abroad. But he's hardly excited, nor appears to be too keen on going because of a lack of funds and an incapacitated father. Almost overnight, almost magically, all his problems get sorted out and he finds himself flying out to a brighter future.

The uncomplicated showman, Rajubhai Patel is a small time organizer of foreign shows. To be a part of his show will cost an aspiring dancer/singer a few cool lakhs. But nobody is complaining, least of all, Rajubhai. Till old flame Tara has to mortgage her house to pay him the money to take her only daughter into his show. And so the seasoned and hardened Rajubhai finds himself fathering a wide-eyed, innocent girl on her first trip abroad. These 4 people with distinct hopes and diverse motives...Yet their lives are entwined...For fate has randomly selected them to play their assigned roles in one of the most horrific events of recent times...
