Her life revolves around her eclectic group of friends, Molly, Watson, and Ginger, her family’s Indian restaurant, and her tight-knit, multi-generational family, including her father Arvind, younger brother Rohan and her grandmother Asha. However, everything changes when she falls for aspiring DJ Max, and while falling, finds a passion for creating tracks to spin. Rhea discovers that she has a natural gift for making beats and producing music but must find the courage to follow her talent and find her music and play it out in the world.
