Summary
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of 1850s colonial India, a young prince, poised on the precipice of manhood, receives a dying injunction from his regal father: to ignite the flames of rebellion against the encroaching English dominion. Yet, the very blood coursing through his veins, a complex confluence of Indian heritage and European lineage, precipitates an agonizing internal schism. This profound identity crisis, coupled with the daunting weight of a national uprising, compels him to forsake his ancestral duty, seeking refuge and anonymity in the distant, ostensibly liberating embrace of America. There, he endeavors to construct a life untethered from the oppressive specter of his past, a futile pursuit as destiny, personified by an emissary from his forsaken homeland, inexorably tracks him down. This messenger serves as a living echo of his solemn vow, a stark reminder that the tendrils of obligation, once woven, are not easily severed by geographical distance or personal evasion, setting the stage for an inescapable confrontation with his birthright and the unfulfilled promise.
Synopsis
In the 1850s, a young prince in India promises his dying father he will lead a revolt against the English colonial masters of India. However, since he is half-European himself, he can't bring himself to do it and flees to America, to live in obscurity. He finds, however, that he can't outrun his obligations, and he soon meets a messenger sent from India to remind him of the promise he made to his father. Complications ensue.
