Kaira is an aspiring cinematographer who dreams of directing her own films and works in Mumbai at a small firm. Blunt and cynical, she is most comfortable with her four best friends, Fatima, Jackie, Raunaq and Ganju. Kaira's life takes a downturn when she sleeps with her friend Raghuvendra, a film producer, and then breaks up with her childhood sweetheart Sid, a pub owner. Raghuvendra later gets engaged to another woman. Kaira's landlord evicts her because the building residents' association is annoyed by her bohemian lifestyle and has requested he only rent apartments to married couples and families. Kaira reluctantly returns to Goa to live with her parents, with whom she has unresolved issues. She spends many sleepless nights in unhappiness and uncertainty.
While in Goa, Kaira seeks out Dr. Jehangir "Jug" Khan, a psychiatrist, for her insomnia after inadvertently having heard him speak at a Mental Health Awareness conference. She warms up to Jug's unconventional methods during their sessions, trying to use them to understand herself. Meanwhile, she meets and starts a relationship with Rumi, a musician, but they quickly break up after she realizes they may not be right for each other. Subsequently, Kaira reunites with her younger brother, Kabir "Kiddo", the only person in her family to whom she confides. Matters with her family come to a head when Kaira has an outburst at a family event, where she confronts her parents about them abandoning and neglecting her as a child for years at her grandparents' house.
Kaira finally narrates the story of her abandonment to Jug. Her parents had left her as a child with her grandparents after their business failed and had neglected her while they tried to rebuild their business and after Kiddo was born, before suddenly taking her back years later. She lost her trust in her parents after overhearing her mother arguing with her grandfather over lying to Kaira about their situation to spare her from the difficult truth. Jug notes she tremendously fears desertion and does not allow herself to commit to relationships, leaving them before they can leave her. He advises her to see her parents as two regular people who are capable of making mistakes instead of focusing on the need to forgive them. Afterwards, Kaira tries to reconcile with her parents and works to finish her short film.
At their last session, Kaira admits to Jug that she has grown to have feelings for him. Jug responds it is normal for a patient to feel this way about their therapist, and while he likes her platonically, a relationship would not be possible between them. The two share a hug before Kaira leaves. Kaira finally completes her short film, which she had worked on for years. At the premiere, her friends, family, and previous partners are present to cheer her on. Kaira meets a furniture designer and initiates a conversation with him.
