The year is 1932, the place is India, and the people are romanticised, politicised and radicalised. They are drawn together and driven apart by class, race, love and theft, and the world around them is changing.
In the small British colony of Simla, placed at the foothills of the Himalayas, the beliefs of the British Empire still remain but the young are hungry for freedom.
Indian Summers tells a sweeping saga, stories of love, secrets, promises made and broken, and tensions that simmer in the hot, feverish days and nights of India - an India populated by freedom fighters, star-crossed lovers, political spies, artists, orphans, expats, the rich and the poor.

Ben Palmer directs this romantic comedy starring Simon Pegg and
Lake Bell. When 40-year-old divorcee Jack (Pegg) mistakenly
believes 34-year-old Nancy (Bell) to be his much younger blind date
she decides to go along with it, taking a chance in the hope of
finding the right man for her. The pair have a great, if chaotic,
time together until Jack discovers the truth about Nancy's
identity. Has she ruined her chance of a future with Jack? The cast
also includes Ophelia Lovibond, Olivia Williams, Rory Kinnear and
Ken Stott.
It is 1935. Three years have passed. And as the seasons turn, so too do the machinations of a rising revolution.
As a new summer falls upon the foothills of India's Little England, Simla, political tensions reach fever point. For Ralph Whelan, this year is the most pivotal of his career but with the Viceroy incumbent in his final few months he struggles to finance his career progression and continue to conceal the truth surrounding the events of 1932. Alice's husband has followed her to India but his worsening campaign of hatred against his wife sends her running into the arms of her true love. The Dalals are enjoying the new-found status that Aafrin's ascending career affords them but it will not be an easy summer and Aafrin is even more deeply involved with the violent wing of the Congress Party.
Against this backdrop, life in Simla continues, as fun and debauched as ever.
