Mirabai, an impassioned schoolteacher, has left her urban lifestyle to teach in Kutch, Gujurat. Witnessing growing illness among the village children after a pre-paid water meter is installed, Mirabai is compelled to take action. Nia, an ambitious young African-American executive, goes to this Indian village to demonstrate Hydron’s new water pump that dispenses water with a swipe from a pre-paid card. When Nia finds herself in need of drinking water without a pre-paid card, both women must confront the horror of this system.
