Synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Lakshmi lives a simple life in the mountains of Nepal until devastating monsoons force her stepfather to send her away for work. Believing she's going to be a maid in the city, Lakshmi journeys to India, only to discover she has been sold into prostitution at "Happiness House." Trapped by a cruel madam and insurmountable debt, Lakshmi must find strength in unexpected friendships and her mother's words to endure and ultimately seek a chance at reclaiming her life.
