Description

Rimana Sen, a young Indian woman, is thrilled to be recruited by a company in Canada and pleased to escape her mother’s expectations of marriage. On the flight to Canada she meets Jug Ducati, a young Canadian. By the time their flight arrives in Toronto, they are well on their way to falling in love. At the airport, Rimana is whisked away by a couple of shady men, so when Jug does not hear from her, he enlists the support of his two best friends, and begins to search for her. They are stunned to discover that Rimana has been sold to a Middle Eastern buyer and are introduced to the sinister underworld of international human trafficking and sexual slavery. Along the way we learn the back-stories of two of the leaders of human trafficking rings who have themselves been shaped by violence and human trafficking. A woman named Nadira, who runs the opulent Toronto brothel, Paradise, and Sultan, a pimp who was mutilated as a result of his love for a trafficked prostitute that got away, and now runs a rival gang. With both Nadira’s goons and the police hot on the heels of Jug, Ramina, and Jug’s two friends, they realize that their only chance of survival is to enlist the support of Sultan, Nadira’s archenemy. Sultan offers them protection and uses them to trap Nadira. But can they survive Nadira’s wrath and cunning, as well as Sultan’s keen desire for revenge, or will they eventually become pawns in another gangster’s world?
