Dehradun City, Himalayas, India 1977: Two bright, beautiful, lesbian research assistants accompany their Indian professor to this city near the tense borders of China and Nepal to observe the holy-war dance of the Mahabharata and its link to polygamy and local heroes (or villains?). The girls begin to question the holiness of the Bhagavad Gita's two polygamist avatars while watching the dance, even as they fall in love with India and their friendly hosts. While gathering data on women's rights violations, caste discrimination, and animal cruelty, they discover more about their own culture, their relationship and themselves. When their hosts uncover the women's secret love-life, they turn against them and the research team's existence is threatened. Will the Indian holy-war become a personal one between locals and outsiders, men against women, polygamists against lesbians, Indians against Americans? The answer lies in the Himalayan nights...
