Meena Kumar, a 12-year-old Sikh girl, lives with her family in the predominantly white, working-class, fictional mining village of Tollington in the Black Country in 1972. Meena meets Anita, a white, 14-year-old girl whom Meena comes to idolise. However, Meena finds it harder and harder to fit in as her Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin heritage keeps on resurfacing, and Anita's new boyfriend proves to hold strong racism attitudes toward those he regards as "darkies".
