Amidst a trying asthma attack, feeling as though he is breathing through a straw, a fifteen year-old boy continues to dash through the pelting rains on the slippery paths inside the thousand year-old ruins of Ranthambore Fort, striving desperately to make it to the assembly point before sunset. As an unimaginable chain of events unfold, extremely anxious, Frank Huber is tossed between the past – recalling the exciting voyage until that evening wherein he and best friend Sam Yamashita both from elite Benford School in United Kingdom execute their journey to Ranthambore on assignment for a History project; to the present, which stings him on all planes – physical, mental, spiritual, with its looming uncertainty. Little does Sam know that Frank intentionally detoured from their group to satisfy his voracious desire for adventure.
