When an aspiring street artist Grafity sees the illegal tenements
outside his home destroyed, he finds in the debris, a lone, standing
wall--one that'll go on to become a summer-long canvas for the lives of
four friends getting by and growing up in the constantly changing and
challenging environment that is the city of Mumbai.
As Grafity's mural on the wall grows, it chronicles the lives of his
friends--Jay, a young man with dreams of being a rapper lured into the
dangerous path of a gangster. Chasma, a bright but awkward boy who
chronicles his struggles as an outsider trying to belong in this city,
by writing letters to strangers, to the city itself. And Saira, who
comes to Mumbai with Bollywood dreams but must first survive the reality
in this place of gangsters, con-men, friends and lovers.
As the long Mumbai summer comes to a close, hearts are broken and leaps
of faith, taken. This coming-of-age tale set in Mumbai's loving,
unforgiving and chaotic embrace, is a unique exploration of that
entirely universal experience--the falling, soaring, the grave
permanence and fleeting transience of our adolescent years.
From rising comic book stars Anand R. K. and Ram V (Paradiso, These
Savage Shores, Batman Secret Files).
