Opening with her self-description as a girl born with a "golden spoon," Bae delivers the narration for the trailer. By robbing her of her riches and status, life lends her an opportunity to learn something. After that, she packs her bags and heads for Mumbai, determined to strike it rich in the city of dreams. When her loved ones turn their backs on her, she is left to navigate the chaotic streets of Mumbai on her own.
