Set during the lockdown in a Delhi neighbourhood, the book is a collection of interconnected short stories. Characters range from an elderly woman who suffers a fall, to a young girl initiating a book club with her reserved neighbour, to a migrant labourer journeying back to his village as urban work opportunities vanish to a wife remembering the plans she once made with her ex-boyfriend after her husband becomes a workaholic due to the lockdown.
