There's a story he can't afford for me to tell. For anyone to tell. And I wish I hadn't realised that. Because now it's the only one I'm interested in... Prab and Kajol dream of a different life for their daughter, Amba. One far away from their grinding factory jobs in West Bengal. So when the factory owner's son asks Prab to write a new play for his Jatra theatre troupe, they jump at the chance to impress the boss. But Prab knows stories are powerful, and as conditions in the factory worsen, he has a choice to make about the story he is writing - one that will have far-reaching consequences for Prab, Kajol and the factory itself.
