In 1945, two years before the partition of India, two young women—one Sikh, one Muslim—stand fast against circumstances that would separate them.
Santi and Naz are best friends who only think about stealing books, swimming in the lake and spying on the local hottie. But as social unrest spreads and families and communities are torn apart, neither understands how their religions are set to divide them, having lived side-by-side all their lives.
Then when Naz is betrothed to a tailor in Rawalpindi and her feelings for Santi become complex and confusing, and the girls reach a crossroads with terrible consequence.
