Sammendrag: Handlingen udspiller sig i småby-Indien med fokus på Varanasi. De to intelligente drenge Gopal og Raghav samt deres fælles veninde Aarti vokser op sammen og drømmer om succes og lykke. I et samfund præget af korruption og ulighed vælger de hver deres vej: Gopal lader sig lokke af hurtige penge og bygger et privat ingeniørcollege via korrupt støtte, mens Raghav bliver journalist og aktivist med mission om at afsløre systemets svigt og skabe en revolution i 2020. Aarti bliver centrum for et følelsesladet trekantsdrama, hvor kærlighed, jalousi og personlige ofre spiller sammen med politiske og økonomiske interesser. Historien skildrer spændingen mellem personlig ambition og samfundsansvar og spørger, hvem der vinder, når idealer støder sammen med realpolitik og korruption.
