Priyanka loves making
comics and spending time with her extended 'family' (an
uncle and aunt who are actually just friends of her
mother). The latter is threatened by the arrival of a
new baby in the family. Meanwhile, Priyanka is
determined to learn more about the father she never knew
as well as about her mother's past life in India,
despite years of her mother staying silent on those two
subjects. One day, Priyanka comes across a suitcase full
of her mother's old things, including a pashmina scarf.
Whenever Priyanka dons the scarf, she is transported to
India -- but is this what India is really like?
