India, 1935. Amelia Collins, a missionary's daughter, left destitute by the death of her parents, leaves their home in the Himalayan foothills to find work in Darjeeling. There she meets District Officer Reginald Holden, who spirits her away from poverty and prejudice to start a new life as his wife in Ganpur.
Amelia soon forms a bond with Reginald's son, Arthur, and resumes missionary work. There, she discovers a pavilion on a lake where the wives of maharajahs once bathed, now abandoned.
When the Indian independence movement flares in Ganpur, Amelia's world begins to fall apart as she uncovers the shattering truths Reginald has been keeping from her.
Decades later, Kate Hamilton inherits a country house from her great-aunt Amelia. Sorting through long-hidden papers, she begins to unearth Amelia's secrets from her years in British India.
But Kate is harbouring a secret of her own – a devastating betrayal from that last summer of the war. Kate is convinced that unlocking the truth about Amelia's Indian past will hold the key to her own future...
