A young Indian woman (Freida Pinto) falls for a British businessman (Riz Ahmed).

Trishna is a young woman living in a small village in Rajastan. When her father is incapacitated by a road accident, her family look to her to become the main breadwinner. In steps Jay, the son of a rich entrepreneur who, smitten with Trishna's beauty, decides to help her and give her a job at one of his father's hotels.
