A river is located here. A settlement is located here. Here is a magnificent antique house. The nation that houses them all is this one. India. September 1946. The entire world is going to alter. Daughters of Dr. Nabakumar Ganguly, Priya, Jamini, and Deepa, reside in Ranipur, Bengal, away from the nation's escalating unrest. Their world is turned upside down when their father is slain on Direct Action Day. The youngest, Priya, is clever and idealistic. Despite all the obstacles, she is determined to follow in her father's footsteps and become a doctor. She is fortunate that Zamindar Somnath Chowdhury, her father's closest friend, is there to assist her. Devout, obedient, and gifted Jamini assists her mother in making ends meet by stitching kanthas. She craves attention while harbouring resentment towards her sisters.
