Plot
The show is based on the story of the mill workers, who have lost their job as the company (mill) has shut down. The main protagoist Uma (played by Smriti Irani) has to work hard to run her family as her father and brother have lost their job.
Thus, Uma tries to motivate the people of her 'basti' to work hard to conform various roles in the running of a mall, so they can all have jobs to run their families. Besides being a hard worker, Uma goes to school to fulfill her dreams even though that is not her parent's priority.

“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—

I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”

“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
