When Bob - Bobby Singh and and Rex - Rakesh Shah, both homeless in America and originally from India meet each other, the experience is far from pleasant. Bob, the more dominating of the two always victimizes Rex with his aggression and frustration. They ultimately find a common ground to co-exist. A bond is formed between the two and life is normal and predictable. Searching for food and shelter are their only goals in life and they are distant from ambitions and desires in life. Things change when they meet Sahana, a homeless Indian girl. Sahana's silence bothers both Bob and Rex. To get her attention, they start speculating her background - where she is from and why she is homeless - through self-created scenarios.

Once Sahana starts talking to them, her views and mind-set attracts Bob's senses. He slowly starts retrospecting about his life. He questions the very existence of his self and wants to face the truth - The truth that he has always been a complete loser. He badly wants to change and is ready to take up the challenge of rising above his failures. Rex, on the contrary, is content with the present. He tries his best to convince Bob not to change his life. The more Sahana talks to Bob and Rex, the more Bob gets sucked into it and the more his friendship with Rex gets affected. Bob wants to start a new, meaningful life but Rex doesn't. They start drifting away from each other. As they try to adjust to the unsettling circustances, emotions heighten to huge proportions resulting in a nerve-wrecking climax. Do they survive the ordeal? Is Bob able to shed his homeless skin? Is Sahana able to irradicate the homeless mindset of Bob and Rex ? Is the weak and submissive Rex able to stop Bob?
