Jacob is a young graduate from a poor background who joins the forces immediately after university. He comes back from the war front a hero.
Tricia is a raving beauty whose youthful trysts left her with a baby produced out of wedlock. This has earned her ridicule in her highly segregated and conservative community.
The two meet out of necessity and fall deeply in love.
Jacob knows this is the woman of his dreams and his future is all set with her. Tricia sees in this relationship a golden second chance at romance and the opportunity to love again. Their major problem is that they are from irreconcilable backgrounds in a society regimented by caste. Will their love alone withstand the storms they are bound to go through to stay together as they are caught up in the complexity of love and the politics of the society?
This is a tragicomic interracial romance that brings out the class ramifications inherent in a caste society but also the chance to love again, against unimaginable odds and irrespective of the past.
Author's Note: While we like to think that caste-based discrimination is something of the dark past, these practices are very much alive in various communities with sometimes unimaginable and devastating consequences.
