Dr Nikhil 'Nic' Joshi had it all - marriage, career, purpose. Until, while working for Doctors Without Borders in a Mumbai slum, his wife, Jen, discovered a black market organ transplant ring. Before she could expose the truth, Jen was killed.

Two years after the tragedy, while working as a doctor on a cruise ship, Nic meets a woman who makes a startling claim: she received Jen's heart in a transplant and has a message for him. There's something about Jess Koirala's reckless desperation that resonates despite Nic's doubts.

Jess has spent years working her way out of a nightmarish life in Calcutta and into a respectable Bollywood dance troupe. Now she faces losing the one thing that matters - her young son, Joy. She needs to uncover the secrets Jen risked everything for; but the unforeseen bond that results between her and Nic is both a lifeline and a perilous complication.
