A girl in Delhi has a brilliant mind and secrets darker than the nights that won't let her eyes close. She lives in the Labyrinth, a place that always seems dim, even in the middle of the day. There, customers flock in their dozens, and there, the girl is exploited for profit in unthinkable, irreversible ways. Her traffickers change her name regularly to throw off authorities, and survival seems only a flicker in the pool of murky water she must bathe in each morning. Though she has known little more than this life of poverty and forced prostitution, when she meets an elderly woman named Ucchal, everything could change. Ucchal works for an anti-trafficking unit, and her questions lead the girl to question herself and her surroundings. If there is a path to freedom, how dangerous is that path, and what hopeful or harrowing discoveries wait at the end?
