"It's a new India," Charu's grandfather told her on their walks past the hospital. "Women can be doctors now."
It's the end of World War II in Guna, India, and as a small child, Charu vows to become a doctor, as doing good deeds is the path to salvation in her Hindu faith. On the bus to med school in Gwalior, Charu meets the vivacious Shyla, another med student who inspires Charu to take new risks. Just as Charu is set to graduate, her father arranges a marriage for her with Jashar, the son of a political affiliate, but Jashar is not what he seems. Charu flees the marriage to focus on her work as a doctor, spreading the message of birth control across the country to improve living conditions for the children of India with Shyla by her side. But birth control is highly controversial in Indian culture, and Charu faces vicious resistance as she is accused of playing God.
Can Charu bring change for India's future generations, or will her message be silenced?
