"A Sahib's Daughter," set in the dying embers of British imperialism in India, depicts the drama and conflict arising from the merging of the two social cultures. Love crosses racial boundaries in the lives of three generations of women: grandmother Prava, her daughter, Ramona and granddaughter, Samira, whose fates are transformed through their encounters with British tea planters. It becomes evident that tea is not the only seed being planted by the British sahibs.

When Ravi, a dashing young Indian planter explodes into Samira's world on his red motor cycle, her life is never quite the same again. Her impulsive reactions lead her down a path of drama and disaster with Irishman Justin. As Justin's deception comes to light, Samira is faced with difficult decisions.
Later, in Delhi, tempers explode and promises are broken just days before Radhika's society wedding. During the pandemonium that follows, Samira's brother, Mark arrives on the scene with a revelation that rocks Ravi’s world.
