It’s the spring of 1984 in British Columbia, and life is just getting exciting for the young and beautiful Esha. Nothing is more important than her dreams of being a celebrated athlete, partying with her friends and charming the boys. A secret that looms over her family has reinforced her proud resistance to her family’s Indian identity. However, one day changes everything, and Esha’s well-thought-out rebellion is put to the test. In the blink of an eye, she is forced to step up and fulfill her father’s last wish, taking her thousands of miles away to a place she never dreamed of visiting: India. Staying with relatives she has never met, forced to follow traditions she has denied her whole life, and fighting the temptations of an unlikely love interest, Esha must now confront her new reality. Yet as she comes to understand her heritage, she also becomes a victim of the highly unstable political climate in 1984 Delhi. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has just been assassinated, political tensions rise, and now only one chant can be heard: “Blood for blood”. Esha must fight to survive the three days of brutal chaos that erupts throughout Delhi in the aftermath of the prime minister’s assassination. Will Esha still deny her family’s Sikh heritage? Will she fulfil her father’s wish? And will she ultimately survive to do that?
