Gopal Kumar, the son of a hair oil tycoon in Madhya Pradesh, arrives in America to study chemical engineering in an university in Eversville. Being a rural boy, he is singularly a virgin. Randy Wolff, his designated buddy attempts to introduce him to the dating culture of the USA, which Gopal resists at first. He is slowly coaxed by him while discovering more of America. Towards the end of his stay, Gopal becomes frustrated due to being unable to "score" a girl. He leaves America still a virgin, but on a flight, he meets a mysterious woman who shares his affection, although they don't touch.
