Circa 2001, Delhi is transforming with underground railway construction. Sarojini, newly arrived and living with her aunt at 99 Moon Avenue, attends an expensive university while struggling to fit into the harsh metropolis. Her life takes a turn when she finds love and understanding in her journalist neighbor, Jalaj, after a traumatic incident where she is molested on the street. As she grapples with the mental aftermath and the indifference of authorities, doubts arise about Jalaj's intentions—does he truly care for her, or is he merely seeking convenience? Meanwhile, an enigmatic lady from 1942, who was murdered, haunts Sarojini’s room, adding to the complexity of her life. Jalaj, captivated by the remnants of Imperial Delhi, occasionally encounters the ghost, who shares tales of the architect behind Moon Avenue, European adventurers, and the circumstances of her death. Caught between the living and the dead, Jalaj's treatment of both women raises questions. This narrative unfolds in the fictional 99 Moon Avenue, exploring the self-discovery of a small-town girl, a young man mourning the loss of historical Delhi, and a ghost trapped by her past.
