In a remote village in Orissa in Pre-independence India, a fourteen year old girl child lives a desolate and oppressed life in widowhood. The village is steeped in regressive orthodoxy. Fate ordained that Shankar comes into her life to liberate her from this poignant existence. Born to a progressive school headmaster, Shankar, a brilliant student, is falsely implicated in a case in college and runs away in shame. He manages to make his way to Germany and then onto USA. Armed with two Doctorate degrees and a prestigious job in Calcutta, the prodigal son returns to a rousing welcome at home and falls in love with this child widow of his village. Their marriage is crafted with Machiavellian maneuvers by Shankar to ward off naysayers. Then begins the transference of this simple village girl to the glitter of high society and the trials and tribulation of marital life.
