Description: In the foothills of the Himalayas sits a once grand, now crumbling house, home to three people and a dog. There is the retired judge dreaming of colonial yesterdays; his orphaned granddaughter Sai who has fallen for her clever maths tutor; the cook, whose son Biju writes untruthful letters home from New York City; and Mutt, the judge's beloved dog. Around the house swirls mountain mist, but also the forces of revolution and change. For a new world is clashing with the old, and the future offers both hope and betrayal.
