Coomy and Jal live in a large apartment where they unwillingly care for their stepfather who has Parkinson's. They devise a despicable plot forcing Nariman into the cramped quarters which Roxana, his daughter and their half sister, shares with her husband and two sons. Mistry, brilliantly and brutally, outlines the raw everyday realities of this disease, and demonstrates to what lengths people, good or bad, will go in order to 'win' or to cope.
