Neil, a young man who loves to dance, and Javed, a man with a quiet, radiant depth, find their relationship at a crossroads when Neil shares that his mother wants to meet Javed. Fear grips Javed—he isn’t ready to be as open about who he is as Neel is with his family. Convinced that heartbreak is inevitable, he wants to pull away from their intense,month-old relationship. But as they sit together at a café, Neil is struck by an idea that transforms a moment of doubt into one of possibility.
