In a near future heavily influenced by the imminent boom of the Indian subcontinent, an emerging technology and economic superpower has developed into a new digital city. The film follows a group of young children as they play a game of hide and seek (Chupan Chupai) in the bustling streets of this smart city. Through their play the children discover how to hack the city, opening up a cavernous network of hidden and forgotten spaces, behind the scenes of everyday streets.
