On the rubber estate, Meenachi, a young Tamil woman from the coolie lines becomes pregnant and gives birth to a European baby. Tongues drool with juicy gossip. Everyone, from Marjorie Pritchard, the gin tippling manager's wife to the labourers, drunk in the toddy shop, is convinced that the culprit has finally been ensnared. But as the Indian clerks and a Chinese bookkeeper in their midst, guzzle their beers and slur out the details at their watering hole and curry parties, new developments pop out everywhere; everyone has a scrumptious little secret hidden in the folds of their everyday life.
