Forty years later, Savi, known to all as Missy, is the embodiment of the American dream successful business owner in Chicago, pillar of the South Asian community, and mother to two brilliant, stubborn young women, Mansi and Shilpa.
Until Varun, a charming doctor, enters their lives, setting off a chain of events that puts Missy's carefully constructed world in jeopardy with the revelation that you can never truly outrun your secrets
