While Nandita attempts to redefine herself and find meaning in a new culture devoid of familiar traditions, her lifes path eventually leads her to Bill Brady, a widower, heartbroken over the recent death of his wife. As Bill and Nandita form a friendship over their commonalities related to grief, she is left to decide whether she wants him as a friendor something much more.
