The murder sparks riots in Delhi and for three days Sikh families are targeted and killed in retribution for the Prime Minister's death. It is into this chaos that sixteen-year-old Maya and her Sikh father, Amar, arrive from their home in Canada. India's political instability is the backdrop and catalyst for Maya's awakening to the world.
