Against all odds, they stood for justice, truth, and love. When lawyer Edward Bird is called to defend the passengers of the Komagata Maru, he steps into the heart of a battle that will test the soul of a nation. Activist Husain Rahim risks everything to expose injustice, while visionary leader Gurdit Singh dares to guide 376 Indian passengers on a voyage for dignity, hope, and belonging. Amidst the roar of public outrage and the cold machinery of exclusion, two lives quietly converge-Saproon, a Sikh immigrant navigating the weight of cultural expectations and exile, and Fortuna, an English teacher whose own history carries the scars of displacement and inherited survival. In a world fractured by race, religion, and power, their love takes root-not in defiance, but in deep recognition. What begins as a cautious friendship grows into something undeniable, a quiet rebellion of tenderness in a time of division. Set against one of the most powerful true events in Canadian history, this is a story of law and justice, of subjects and empire-and of a love that quietly defies the world around it. In the margins of history, Saproon and Fortuna find something rare and enduring: a connection that crosses boundaries of faith, race, and circumstance. Their bond, born in a time of fear and resistance, becomes a quiet act of revolution. This is a story of courage, hope, and the belief that even in the harshest conditions, friendship and love can take root-and last.
