Sara, a therapist, always thought her husband Mike died in Afghanistan
- but when she learns he was actually killed in India, her desire to uncover the truth leads her to a clinic in New Delhi. Once in India Sara is dazzled by the country`s culture & its people. At the clinic, she grows close both to her patient Pritti & a bewitching, low-caste driver named Hemant. Yet Sara finds herself increasingly appalled at the treatment of women; in this country of old traditions & new opportunities, so much remains shocking or forbidden, like the practice of ` Devadasi`
- prostitutes who work at temples. As Sara inches towards the truth about Mike`s death & their marriage, & becomes entangled in the dark side of Delhi, she is thrust into the terrifying reality of an India few Westerners ever see.
