Yangchen and her family are Tibetan refugees living a simple life in Nepal. Often, her High Lama grandfather would tell her stories of the wonders of Tibet before he had to cross over to Nepal to escape the crackdown of Chinese authority. This was a special time for Yangchen as she loved her grandfather dearly and the stories he would tell her. Just prior to his passing, and with a weakened voice, he awakes from a dream re-counting that she crosses over to Tibet. Suddenly, Yangchen had purpose in her life, and because of his sacred dream, she realizes she must go. Having received a smartphone for her eighteenth birthday and inspired by her grandfather's dream and her own self-determination, she posts a curious message on a Tibetan refugee website mobilizing fellow refugees to accompany her on the treacherous journey to Tibet. By doing so, Yangchen unintentionally changes the course of Tibetan history.

Legend says that deep in the Rajasthan desert, a Maharajah's son died tragically only to appear years later, mysteriously reincarnated. Centuries later, Indo-American Ravi, who had been down on his luck, reluctantly travels to India to discover his parents' homeland. But his search for enlightenment is disrupted when he becomes lost in the Rajasthan desert. On the verge of death from dehydration, Ravi is rescued and is taken to Maharajah's palace, where the son of the Maharajah died some years before. Upon seeing him, the Maharajah proclaims that Ravi is his son, reincarnated. Enchanted by this grand new life, Ravi questions whether he could really be the son of a Maharajah.
