Amrita opens with the death of a celebrated young actress in mysterious and shocking circumstances. She leaves behind an unconventional extended family that includes an older sister, a woman in her twenties through whose eyes the story unfolds; a kid brother who possesses mystical powers; and a fiance who is writing a novel with uncanny parallels to the story he is living.
Caught between history and hope, these three survivors embark on a journey that takes them through grief and suffering, memories lost and regained, forbidden romance, redemption, and recovery in a confrontation with the spirits of the dead on a remote island in the Pacific, once the site of a fatal clash between Japanese and American forces.
