"Candy is beside me, drenched in sweat. She's breathing gently, long slow breaths. I imagine her soul going in and out: wanting to leave, wanting to come back, wanting to leave, wanting to come back. The day will soon harden into what we need to do. But for now we have each other. . . ."
In India, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train travelling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents feelings, he suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification, and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning. With just a small store of memories and his unwavering determination, Saroo embarks on one of the greatest needle-in-a-haystack quests of modern times.
This is the story of four people who are successful in work - a hotelier, a fashion designer, an architect and a sex therapist. However, they all have a troubling incident in their backgrounds, which holds them back from achieving their true potential. Although the four characters have all reached mid-life, they are still passionate about everything they do, and their physical attraction is still strong. The narrative explores how and why their lives come together, as well as the explosive passions that result. It is a tale of physicality, psychology and violence, but its strongest claim is that it is unashamedly erotic.
