The prodigal son returns ... but is it for good? Why does he want the pearl then? Two feuding brothers - handsome but no longer young: each with a mission of his own. What is it and who wins? Two children – innocent and pristine – meet and then part. Will their paths cross again? A young girl - not yet out of her teens. But why is she looking for the pearl too? An idealistic young man, son of a powerful minister, answers the call of the mountains and becomes a wanderer, shunning his destiny as his father's heir. Why is he searching for a fairy? What makes him, a non-violent man, handsome and in the bloom of his youth, risk his all? And will he find his fairy? Each character is a mere pawn in this bizarre game of life and death, of power and pelf, of past and future ... and each with a story to tell. Or hide. ---- Roshmi Sinha.
