It is the eve of the transit of Venus in the year 2004.
An American travel-writer, Max Gate, and his
once much loved friend, the charming and refined Begali
businessman, Byron Mallick, meet in extraordinary
circumstances upon the shores of Bengal. Byron is likely
soon to be facing charges of murder, and Max has arrived
hoping to resolve the crisis, but finds himself confronted
with a need to revise his own notions of morality, loyalty and love instead.
