Tossa Barber and her boyfriend Dominic Felse are asked by Tossa's actress mother Chloe Bliss to accompany her co star's 14 year old daughter to India to the safety of her wealthy father. Tossa and Dominic jump at the chance to have an all expenses paid trip to India so fly out with the seemingly precocious Anjli Kumar. Shortly after they arrive in India they find that Anjli's father has been missing for about a year and the letter Anjli's mother sent him to say Anjli would be coming to live with him remains at his house unopened whilst the home is in the care of his rather nervous cousin. They go to visit Anjli's grandmother hoping she will take in Anjli but she's at death's door and dies during their visit.
