Dimple, a 17-year-old girl living in New Jersey feels torn between the world occupied by her traditional, Indian-born parents and that of the America she calls home. Dimple is appalled when her parents set her up with a "suitable" Indian boy named Karsh, a boy whom she immediately rejects as too soft-spoken. Then, when Dimple sees Karsh in another light, she realizes that there is more to him than she had first imagined. But it might be too late--Karsh has also caught the eye of Dimple's best friend, Gwyn.
