Taj Khyber Rowland knows he’s not who people think he is but he can’t quite remember how his life went so off course.
He decides to spool backwards, to his younger self. A daredevil seven year old Chellamuthu, living happily, but in abject poverty, with his large family in rural India.
But when Chellamuthu disobeys his mother and goes to play at the bus station, he’s persuaded to board a bus with some bigger boys.
He’s kidnapped. And there’s no going back.
