Kip Singh is timorous and barely twenty when he arrives for the first time at General Kumar's camp, nestled in the shadow of the mighty Siachen Glacier that claimed his father's life. He is placed under the supervision of Chef Kishen, a fiery, anarchic mentor who guides Kip towards the heady spheres of food and women.

Until, one oppressively close day, a Pakistani 'terrorist' with long, flowing hair is swept up on the banks of the river, and changes everything.
