Synopsis
In July 1914, young Englishwoman Vivian Rose Spencer discovers the Temple of Zeus in an ancient land, embarking on an adventure that leads to love. A year later, separated by war, Viv follows a cryptic message while Qayyum Gul, an Indian soldier, returns home from Ypres with shattered allegiances. Their lives intertwine unexpectedly, a connection that resurfaces fifteen years later amidst anti-colonial resistance, an ancient artifact, and a mysterious woman, bringing them together for seventy-two hours of heartbreak and shifting loyalties.
