1865, Bombay, India. Humza and his friend Ranj are on a mission to bring back Dani, Humza’s brother who went missing in London two years ago. But they’re too young to work as lascars on the ships so they decide to stowaway.

After a long voyage across the world, Humza and Ranj arrive in London. The boys are greeted by a seemingly kind English gentleman, who ushers them into an inn.
