Iris, an American, is visiting India for the first time with her fiancee and not enjoying the trip. When she steps down from the train at Shambala Junction to buy a bottle of water, little does she know that her life will radically change. Stranded at the small town, she becomes involved in a local stall-holder’s battle to recover a lost child – one which is about to be sold to a rich Westerner. Fighting corruption and bureaucracy for the sake of the child, she discovers not only herself – but friendship, courage and a love of India in all its colorful contradictions.
