Seventeen year-old Rohan is expelled from boarding school and returns home after eight years, to his despotic widowed father, who lives in an industrial city in northeastern India. Upon his arrival home, Rohan discovers he has a six-year-old half-brother, Arjun. Rohan‘s father does not share his enthusiasm for literature and makes him work in a factory and study engineering. Both boys are exposed to constant physical and psychological violence – how long can one endure such a life?
