Shaurya (Rajkummar Rao) and his girlfriend Noorie (Geetanjali Thapa) plan to elope and get married, a day before Noorie's arranged marriage with someone else. Shaurya currently lives in a bachelor pad, so he makes plans to move to a new flat that will accommodate himself and Noorie. In a hurry to find affordable housing, he ends up moving into a new high rise apartment complex, which is empty due to building and legal issues. The lone security guard stationed at the building is unaware that Shaurya has already moved in, and Noorie also does not know of his new address yet.
The next morning, Shaurya accidentally locks himself inside the apartment. He makes some initial attempts to break open the lock but, fails. The apartment does not have an electricity connection as yet, and so his phone runs out of battery before he can call for help. Shaurya, now totally disconnected with outside world, struggles to survive without food, water and electricity. As days pass by, he progressively becomes more claustrophobic, and his attempts to escape become more extreme. At one point, he uses his own blood to trace the words "HELP" with details of his address on a cardboard paper, which falls on the terrace of a house nearby. The apartment's resident questions the clueless watchman about it, who claims that the building is empty above. She hesitantly starts to go up to investigate by herself but, gives up soon.
Desperate for food, Shaurya resorts to eating cockroaches, ants and pigeons, and also starts talking to a rat for company. To his relief, it rains heavily after some days and Shaurya collects as much water possible in empty containers. He manages to survive for almost a week, but his physical and mental health starts to deteriorate due to starvation, dehydration, and isolation.
