1969: In a remote field in Irumi, a tiny village nestled deep within the ghats and jungles of Telangana, a small boy witnesses a shocking act of vengeance. A decade earlier, Vijaya and Sree, daughters of the landowning Deshmukh family, set out with the Krishna and Ranga, the sons of one of their parents' servants, determined to track down a tiger rumoured to be circling Irumi. The consequences of this terrible day will explode through each of their young lives, sending them scattering for different corners of India. When Krishna and Vijaya find one another again, they are as changed as the country they call home. Both are pulled inexorably back to the place that shaped them, a place that is no longer safe.
