A play about group therapy in a psychiatric clinic. The group have gathered for therapy. There's sex-obsessed David, Juliet who wants to be punished, fidgety Carter, and Celia who is only trying to help. Through suicide, slander and sly liaisons in the garden, they try to make each other well - or, perhaps, use each other to feel better about themselves. And sitting silently in the corner is Doctor Parks. He may not believe in a cure, but he's sure his methods are sound.

As the supernatural weaves into the narrative of family life, the Mittals must struggle to come to terms with the secrets that had been locked away behind a mysterious bolted door. Themes of hidden shame, forbidden love and a call for absolute sacrifice enrich this beautifully written novel. Agarwal unfolds the story against an intense portrait of Bombay, delving into the world of the slum-dwellers, prostitutes and hermaphrodites who survive on the peripheries of Indian society.
