Heat is the story of a remote map-data specialist who unexpectedly ends up living in a small village in India after a wedding, a flooded apartment back in Toronto, and a casual offer from a woman he barely knows. What begins as discomfort — heat, insects, power cuts, borewell water, and isolation — slowly turns into a strange form of belonging. It is a quiet, observational story about escape, simplicity, cultural distance, and the warmth that can appear in places where life seems hardest.
