When the East India Company sells one of its village bungalows to a Bengali aristocrat, the erstwhile manager, Hamilton Sahib, finds himself homeless in his adopted country. A young woman remembers home only as a boxful of childhood memories and the room in which she has been imprisoned by a rich babu. A mother leaves behind her house and her notions of chastity in order to feed her children.
