On one of the hottest days, 17-year-old Maali, reticent and reserved, decides he wants to end his life. His plan however, takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself needing to make a trip to the local shop first.

As Maali walks down his familiar old street one last time with this unburdened disposition, he opens himself up to new interactions that shape how his relationships with the people he meets along the way unfold.
