In a southern town in 1954 India, British and Anglo-indian identities blur in this psychological tale of misplaced trust, envy and power. The troubled Macintosh household deteriorates further when Lily (Grata Scaccchi) gives birth to a sickly baby girl. Cotton Mary (Madhur Jaffrey), and anglo - indian hospital worker, seizes the opportunity and takes over the infant's care. She becomes indispensable to the suffering mother and is asked to join the household, where she assumes more and more duties and plays on the mother's fatigue and lack of spousal counsel. How long can Mary sustain her rule before Lily stands on her own feet and regains control ?
