Lal Benjamin took a wrong turn and missed the American Dream. Stuck in a dead-end job, constantly at odds with his father, and overshadowed by his successful brother, the sixty-two-year-old longs for something more. After years of exploring India on his couch, he finally stops postponing and books the trip of a lifetime.

But the moment he arrives in Delhi; his adventure spirals out of control. A heated exchange at customs exposes his unusual depth of knowledge, drawing suspicion. Detained as a suspected criminal, he's thrown into a communal cell with dangerous men--only to be smuggled out by a gang and trafficked to a remote village. Stripped of his freedom, forced into servitude, and trapped in a ruthless underworld, Red must navigate in a world of corruption and betrayal, where one wrong move could be his last.

Can Lal escape captivity and reclaim his freedom, or will India become the place where he is lost forever?
