In the bustling year of 1927, amidst the rugged landscapes of Vancouver, Dhaya resides in a modest, weather-beaten shack with her husband, Ajit. The air is thick with the scent of coal dust and the distant echoes of a burgeoning city. Dhaya, longing for the warmth of her homeland in India, yearns to return, seeking the comfort of family ties and cultural roots. Yet Ajit harbors dreams of carving out a future in the promising but harsh Dominion of Canada. Their lives take a harrowing turn when disaster strikes-an ear-splitting rumble announces the collapse of the mine where Ajit toils.
