The film follows Swetha, an Indian woman who hopes to pursue a doctorate in physics while living in the United States as a H4 dependent visa holder. She navigates one of the oldest and most entrenched social institutions in the world, The Indian Arranged Marriage system, with the very scientific education that was given to her, to make her a viable candidate for the institution. She aims to pursue an higher education in the US after marrying a H1B visa holder; an opportunity that was denied to her before marriage.
