Welcome to Grand Life Apartments

Soon-to-be-retired Kamala spends her days counting down to her daughter's annual visits from abroad.

Thirty-two-year-old engineer, Revathi, is frequently reminded by her mother that she's fast reaching her expiry date in the arranged-marriage market.

And heartbroken Jason is here because he's running away - from London, and from his past.

With nothing in common, they are united only by a love - and a need - for where they live. So when a developer threatens to demolish everything they know, they come together to save their beloved home...
