Neil had just arrived in Delhi, a few days ago to meet his sister. Exhausted by her endless rants about how he doesn't have any time for the family, he finally decided to show up and make his sister happy! One fine day, when his sister asked him to get the flower pots from the ground floor up to the 7th floor she had a flat on, he had no choice but to take the elevator.

What he didn't know was that destiny could sprinkle some magical dust at the very instance and lock him up inside that metal cabinet with a girl who loathes his profession!

One chance encounter and Vedika can't help but regret opening her oh-so-ever-excited mouth!
