Description
A group of nine are trapped in the visa office at an Indian Consulate after a massive earthquake in an American city.
Two visa officers on the verge of an adulterous affair; Jiang, a Chinese Indian woman in her last years; her gifted teenage granddaughter Lily; an ex-soldier haunted by guilt; Uma, an Indian American girl bewildered by her parents' decision to return to Kolkata after twenty years; Tariq, a young Muslim man angry with the new America; and an enraged and bitter elderly white couple.
As they wait to be rescued or to die they begin to tell each other stories, each recalling 'one amazing thing' in their life, sharing things they have never spoken of before.
Their tales are tragic and life-affirming, revealing what it means to be human and the incredible power of storytelling.
