In 1978, modern life has yet to reach Nepal, where Cecily Havenshack lives a palatial life with her U.S. diplomat husband. From years of wandering the old bazaar, Cecily has become immersed in Kathmandu s sensory excesses and exotic street scenes. As monsoon saturates the valley, Cecily seeks transformation and adventure. But in a place as old as belief, Cecily is not in charge of her own fate. She is shanghaied by a stranger who forces her onto a trek through mountains and monsoon. When things begin to go wrong, Cecily seems an unlikely survivor of such madness.
