K.Street Pali Hill is the address of one of Mumbai's most
affluent families. It is the story of three friends who share the same
address. Money, power, fame, success - there's nothing that they don't
have... They share everything including a secret, a secret so dark that
it is casting shadows on their future.
Bikram Kaul, Aditya Khandelwal, Arindam Keshab are the premier business
moguls of India. They live together in a sprawling mansion with their
families. There is perfect harmony in the household, the kids love each
other and the wives get along as well.
But in this perfect world, if there's anything that is amiss, it is the
old dilapidated outhouse that casts its evil shadow on the mansion. The
outhouse is the foundation of their success and the keeper of their
secret. Only the three know its past. It is like pandora's box - silent
until opened.
