Description

When the Bharat Party comes to power after a divisive election, Naren, a jaded Wall Street consultant, is lured home. With him is Amanda, a restless New Englander eager to find purpose through a teaching fellowship in a Muslim-majority slum. Meanwhile, Naren's charismatic brother Rohit, an amateur filmmaker, sets out to explore his roots and befriends the fiery young men of the Hindu nationalist machine. As they embrace the new India, they become aware of an increasingly fraught milieu, slipping into brutal debates and confusing love affairs, and careening toward a festive night when all of Mumbai is on the streets-where the simmering unrest erupts.
