A lift technician, Chen, dies in an unfortunate work site accident and his wife travels here from China to collect his body. Overseeing this case is ambitious Malay lawyer, Andy, who disregards his wife’s objections to giving their daughter Dela a Dream Device to better her studies. Dela’s classmate, Alyssa, has to live with both her grandparents in the absence of her mother, and she knocks heads with them constantly due to their class differences. She seeks comfort in her best friend, Wei Ting, whose unemployed father decides to rob a bank with Chen’s Bangladeshi co-worker, Nayeem. Their lives are separate but intertwined, and all collide in the Curry Incident.
