Interweaves the stories of two Sri Lankan women looking for freedom, including Latha, a teenager who was raised as a servant and decides to take revenge on her master by seducing her love interest, and Biso, a mother who flees from her murderous husband.

Describes the years leading up to the civil war in Sri Lanka by following a group of playmates whose innocence is in sharp contrast to their parents' petty intolerance.
