When Chandra Bansi and her baby, Leela, are burnt to death, the police are anxious to get their race relations right. DCI Casey and his less than politically correct sergeant rapidly come under pressure from their superintendent to put a couple of skinhead thugs behind bars. Arson isn't out of the question, but neither are some other possibilities, and Casey doesn't want to be rushed. The arrival of his pot-smoking, guitar-strumming hippie parents helps Casey to dwell on the far-out side of Indian culture. And, just how respectable is Chandra's businessman father, or her vindictive in-laws? Chandra Bansi was a modern headstrong young woman who was caught uncomfortably between two cultures. It's very hard to say which of them is the more dangerous.
