The film tells the story of a girl called Miranda, who returns to her late father’s ancestral home after falling out with her mother. Miranda lives in Mumbai with her mother. Her father, a Hindu, had married an Anglo-Indian woman and was thus expelled from his ancestral house by his father. After her father's death, Miranda's mother started bringing men to their house and the men would try to molest her. After her mother decides to marry one of her boyfriends who tries to grope Miranda, Miranda runs to Kerala and her father's ancestral home. After the initial hesitation, her grandfather warmly welcomes her to the family. Her father's sister is however very hostile towards her. Miranda befriends her first cousins and wins them over. Miranda finds peace, happiness, and belonging in her ancestral home. Her joy is short-lived when her abusive stepfather comes to take her away.
