Sangeet, or Sang to her friends, faces life with an irritating, conniving thief of an aunt. Sang’s best friend, Gina, dreams and plans with her, until one day she stops being the sympathetic friend who always listens. All of a sudden, no one understands Sang. Even Doodles, her younger sister, thinks ill of her. Sang’s parents misread the clues and decide their daughter must be bulimic. This comedy of errors takes a serious turn when Sang finds herself deserted as she attempts to rescue Gina from pulling a “pretzel” and walking away from her life.
