Amrith, reaching the top step to the terrace, paused for a moment and looked out over the rooftops toward the sea, visible through the palm fronds of coconut trees in the various gardens between his house and the beach.

It is the season of monsoons. 14 year old Amrith is submerged in the cheerful, well-to-do lifestyle in which his vibrant Auntie Bundle and kindly Uncle Lucky have raised him. Still, Amrith can't seem to shake the blurred memories of his life "before," when his doting mother was still alive. School is out for the summer and Amrith's holiday plans seem unpromising. Until, like an unexpected monsoon, his cousin arrives from Canada, and his life suddenly becomes storm-tossed. Shakespeare's Othello, with its powerful theme of disastrous jealousy, plays in the back-drop of the drama in which Amrith finds himself immersed.
