Now back in San Francisco, Neel is desperate to hold on to his old life and buck his family traditions while Leila struggles between following her Indian tradition and grasping the advantages of her new country. Neel and Leila struggle to reconcile their own desires with the expectations of others in this riveting story of two people that may be more compatible than they seem.
