Mumbai-based former collegians, Manish Gupta, Rajeev Arora, Ishita Sharma, Monica Seth, and Jai Gokhale, end up in a lock-up during the month of May 2000. This is where they decide to pursue their respective goals to be a successful author; be the best in business; money and wealth; fame; and power through politics. They meet again during May 2005 and are happy to inform each other that they have indeed achieved their respective goals. They will soon realize that their happiness is short-lived, and they have yet to pay a heavy toll for the success they have achieved so far.
