- Summary:
- Samir Sahni is a farmer living with his parents, wife Rama, a young daughter, and his younger brother, Veer. Samir gets an offer to work in the U.K. He would like to settle there and his family to join him. The years go by, and Samir keeps in touch with his family regularly. Then, the Sahni family stop receiving any letters from him. Veer is asked to travel to U.K. to find out what hepend to Samir.
- What he finds are tens of thousands of East Indians on fake passports, working for less than minimum wages, poor and unhealthy conditions, fear of being deported, and paying half of their earnings to fellow East Indians who had got them there. Veer finds no sign of his brother, and sets out to investigate, only to find deceit, murder, and his very own life in danger.
