Seventeen-year-old Rohan is expelled from the Bishop Cotton boarding school in Shimla with three of his friends (Vikram, Benoy and Maninder) after they are seen watching an adult film outside campus in the middle of the night. Rohan returns home to Jamshedpur, where his stern, abusive, alcoholic father, and his six-year-old half-brother Arjun (about whom Rohan had not known) live. His father forces him to run every morning (racing him the last leg) and work at his father’s metalworking factory and attend engineering classes at the local university. He expresses his disappointment in his son with abuse both verbal and physical and humiliation. Rohan is a closet writer and his uncle supports his ambition…
