Thirst for Rain is about the struggle in the lives of Myra and the other associated characters who are constantly fighting to make it big in their lives. Inclusive of all these, the touch of confusing romantic associations among the protagonists accord a loosely based plot to the story where all the characters and their romantic entanglements claim importance and focus from time to time.
