When Maggie's husband dies in the bed of another woman, she surges out of their stately home. She heads East, towards family wealth, touching down in Bangladesh. A beautiful young man, Sepen, welcomes her at the airport, and shepherds her through the culture shock of his country. As their relationship becomes sexual, he starts to crack her English veneer.
