A young Indian Prince named 88 Keys has an unusual form of “Synaesthesia”. His extraordinary gift is that those who hear his piano playing see colors that trigger memories in their subconscious. His step-father is obsessed and plans to exploit his abilities to spread a revolt to free India from the British rule in early 1900s. 88 Keys realizes he must leave or India will go up in flames.

He meets up with a young girl who also has Synaesthesia. But her unique ability manifests that when she hears sounds she tastes them as well. This ability has been the family secret to their success in the coffee trade. She is fleeing from a forced marriage. As their paths cross, all types of characters one can only find or imagine in mystical India come to life as the two make their escape.
