When all of their secrets ì are revealed, the three are forced to leave Darjeeling. Aloka and ì Pranab flee to New York City and Sujata to Canada. The story ì opens ten years later, when their Grandmother summons everyone ì home to the family tea plantation to celebrate her birthday. ì Despite the fact that Aloka is still very much in love with ì Pranab, they are in the process of getting a divorce. Sujata, who ì is still single, runs a successful business importing tea, a ì business that doesn't fill her broken heart. This trip forces the ì sisters to wrestle with their bitterness and anger and to try to ì heal old wounds.
