Ila prepares a special lunchbox to be delivered to her husband at work, but it is mistakenly delivered to office worker Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. This begins a series of lunchbox notes between Saajan and Ila, and the mere comfort of communicating with a stranger anonymously soon evolves into an unexpected friendship. Still strangers physically, Ila and Saajan become lost in a virtual relationship that could jeopardize both their realities.
