A Straight Path
In 1857, India is on the cusp of Mutiny. Anne, a wife and mother seemingly content with her lot in life, harbours a deep secret; a lover. With the outbreak of the Mutiny, Anne’s ordered life is thrown into chaos, her secrets are in jeopardy and the entire subcontinent threatens to collapse. The Mutiny spreads through India like wild-fire. In Meerut, on the eve of Mutiny, we meet Karim, an idealistic soldier fighting against the British for personal and national retribution. Both lives are worlds apart, but neither can escape the path that Mutiny has set for them.
