Young teacher Annie Krüger has just gotten a call from India: her father has disappeared without a trace from his hotel in Jaipur.

Annie soon finds herself drawn to two men, both from diametrically opposed backgrounds: Arun, the fabulously wealthy son of the last Maharajah, and quick-witted Karan from the slums of Jaipur.
