Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor to afford him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables.
But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world.
As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master.
