Fifteen-year-old Vidya, a girl with dreams of attending college in British-occupied India during World War II, faces unexpected challenges after a family tragedy.

However, a shocking act by her brother plunges Vidya into a tumultuous journey filled with political and personal upheaval, leaving her to grapple with the strength needed to endure.
