A struggling actress in Los Angeles, Lila, visits her painter aunt and designer cousin in India after a break-up and is drawn into Delhi's coveted modelling circuit. A fresh face, she is signed up by the most prestigious agency and she lands herself a bikini shoot for an Italian agency. To knock off a few pounds, she begins a regimen of harsh exercise and crash diet. The toll on her body pushes her to the edge, and to flirt with drugs... Lila is mired in a spiral of glamour and hedonism. The book is a comment on life on the party lane that characterises the high-adrenaline fashion fraternity of India.
