The Path to Redemption traces the life of the protagonist, Shivaji Joshi, along with happenings in modern India in the post-independence era.

Shivaji's childhood revolves around his single mother who is a brilliant academic. In his early life and college years, Shivaji spends a great deal of time under the influence of his mother's brother, who is a closet homosexual and a religious bigot. This influence leads Shivaji to do things that he eventually regrets, spending the rest of his life trying to redeem himself.

He suffers great physical pain and mental anguish during his life, and the loss of family, betrayal, as well as violence that he experiences, test his resolve beyond measure.

At what price will redemption come? Will Shivaji find the peace he seeks?
