The British-born Punjabi Shergill sisters-- Rajni, Jezmeen, and Shirina-- were never close and barely got along growing up. As adults, they've grown even further apart. Rajni, a school principal is a stickler for order. Jezmeen, a struggling actress, fears her big break may never come. Shirina, the peacemaking "good" sister married into wealth and enjoys a picture-perfect life. On her deathbed, their mother voices one last wish: that her daughters will make a pilgrimage together to the Golden Temple in Amritsar to carry out her final rites. Arriving in India, these sisters will make unexpected discoveries about themselves, their mother, and their lives. -- adapted from jacket
