As sectarian violence engulfs post partition India, the acclaimed writer Saadat Hasan Manto made the difficult choice of leaving his beloved Bombay. Bereft of friends, his professional fortunes in doldrum and increasing alcoholism Manto finds himself in a downward spiral, in Lahore. This is the tale of two emerging nations, two faltering cities, and one man who tries to make sense of it all.
