Prabjyot Kaur lives a traditional and conservative lifestyle in rural Punjab along with her parents, and grandparents. Her father, Joginder Singh, is very stern and disapproves of love-marriages. When she expresses a desire to continue studying in Chandigarh city, her grandfather accompanies her and arranges her residence with a sober widower, Colonel Brar, who has also permitted several other young women to live under his roof as tenants. Prabhjyot does not know that the Colonel is not who he claims to be, neither was he ever married, and soon she will be thrust into a romance that will throw her into conflict with her family.
