Description
In 1913, a young Indian immigrant named Rakesh arrives in San Francisco with dreams of striking it rich and reuniting with his family. However, his arrival coincides with the city's devastating earthquake, leaving him stranded and alone in a strange land. Rakesh must navigate the treacherous landscape of early 20th-century America, facing prejudice, poverty, and the constant struggle for survival. Along the way, he encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, from a wise Sikh shopkeeper to a fiery Irish prostitute, each offering a glimpse into the diverse and often brutal realities of immigrant life. Passage West is a sweeping saga of resilience, hope, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
