Sarita is an Indian American woman in her 50s trying to rebuild her life after divorce. Newly living alone in a cramped Brooklyn apartment, having left both her marriage and suburban New Jersey behind, she is determined to embrace independence and start over on her own terms: organised, controlled and without complications. But when she reluctantly takes in an older stray dog for what is a ‘temporary’ arrangement, Sarita is dragged into the alien world of dog parks, intrusive neighbors and a relentlessly affectionate dog who is completely, unapologetically obsessed with her and determined to break down Sarita’s emotional walls.
