Epic drama set in the summer of 1932 where India dreams of independence, but the British are clinging to power. Set against the sweeping grandeur of the Himalayas and tea plantations of Northern India, the drama tells the rich and explosive story of the decline of the British Empire and the birth of modern India, from both sides of the experience. At the heart of the story lie the implications and ramifications of the tangled web of passions, rivalries and clashes that define the lives of those brought together in this summer which will change everything.

As the British Raj begins to crumble, an idealistic young officer finds his loyalties fractured between his colonial duties and a growing respect for the local struggle. This lush period piece captures the tension of a dying empire through sweeping Himalayan landscapes and intense political friction.
