520    Taylia Chatterjee has never known love, and certainly has 
       never felt it for herself. Growing up on the Upper West 
       Side of Manhattan, with her older sister Alyssa, their 
       parents were both overbearing and emotionally distant, and
       despite idyllic summers in the Catskills, and gatherings 
       with glamorous family friends, there is a sadness that 
       emanates from the Chatterjee residence, a deep well of 
       sorrow stemming from the racism of American society. After
       a violent sexual assault, Taylia is disowned by her 
       parents and suddenly forced to move out. As Taylia looks 
       to the city, the ghost of her Indian grandmother dadi-ma 
       is always one step ahead, while another more troubling 
       ghost chases after her. Determined to have the courage to 
       confront the pain that her family can't face, Taylia finds
       work at a neighborhood café owned by single mother and 
       spiritualist, Kat. Taylia quickly builds a constellation 
       of friends and lovers on her own, daring herself to be 
       open to new experiences, even as they call into question 
       what she thought she knew about the past"
