Anwyn Morgan, a naïve missionary kid takes you into her heart and mind unraveling her journey through a life of turning away from God and doing things her own way. She goes to India as the young bride of Benoy Guha to begin their fairy-tale marriage. He is handsome, rich and available. She just turned twenty-one and is eager for freedom and independence; a new beginning. Why wait?
Benoy has been away too long from his cultural upbringing and so forgotten the rules and regulations of living with parents. His mother takes an instant dislike to Anwyn. Who can blame her? When the two women first meet, Benoy is too timid to introduce Anwyn as his wife.
Locked in a space between two cultures, ethnicities and unsolved differences, Anwyn feels stifled living in a joint family system but tries hard to fit the mold of a meek, respectful wife. Benoy, who has reverted to a more orthodox lifestyle, struggles with her strong will and independent spirit realizing that along with depriving his mother the privilege of choosing his bride, he has perhaps made the wrong choice.
