Tara and Maya are inseparable, with the same tastes, habits, and hobbies. Years later, the two have matured but have maintained their friendship. Tara marries local prince Raj Singh, who succeeds the throne as the sole heir. After the marriage, Raj seeks another female to satisfy his sexual desires, with his sights settling on Maya, putting a perhaps unforgivable strain on a longtime friendship.

Based on the true story of a black girl who was born to two white Afrikaner parents in South Africa during the apartheid era.

The story is inspired by the assassination of Chris Hani, leader of the South African Communist Party.
