Plot
The series focuses on the Pradeep family who has successfully moved from India to the United States to start a new experience in the country. The series is told in flashbacks from an interrogation room, which sometimes allow very different conclusions to be drawn about what happened.The central narrative of the story explores the inquiry conducted by two agents from the offices of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service surrounding the arson of the Mills' residence, specifically questioning the motives behind the act and the identity of the perpetrator. The Mills family, particularly Janice, harbors suspicions that certain members of the Pradeep family may have orchestrated the fire due to underlying personal grievances against various members of the Mills household.
The Pradeeps are at risk of deportation due to two primary factors: their alleged involvement in the arson of the Mill's residence and Mr. Pradeep's failure to secure the necessary investment to maintain his business contract with SpaceX.
The plot further complicates when Bhanu Pradeep, a member of the Pradeep family, becomes pregnant by her boyfriend, Stu Mills, the son of the Mills family. This development serves as a pivotal element that enables the Pradeep family to remain in the United States while the identity of the arsonist remains unresolved and shrouded in ambiguity.
