At forty, Nayantara is blindsided by her celebrity ex-husband's second marriage to a hot, young influence on the heels of a divorce that leaves her broke, single and discarded by the society she once thrived in.
Desperate to prove she's still relevant, Nayan sets out to rebuild her PR business chasing power, money and visibility with a hunger she didn't know she possessed. Among the clients she sets out to restitute are an aging movie star terrified of irrelevance, a politician in urgent need of image rescue, and a socialite with small-town roots trying to reinvent herself as a cultural tastemaker.
In the middle of this, Nayan is pulled between two men. One offers steadiness and clarity. The other is charm, glitter and temptation. Buffeted by the contradictions of ambition and love, right and wrong, Mumbai's relentless hustle and Landour's quieter pull, she must decide what really matters in a world obsessed with appearances.
