The epic saga continues as Yash and Padma arrive in Manchester to begin their four year exile. It's a profound shock. Now they are an ethnic minority in a country where race is an increasingly charged issue and, with no money, they are powerless to insulate themselves from trouble.

In Mumbai, Dhruv is working hard to reinvent his public persona and doing everything he can to secure his grip on power. His best chance of controlling Hasta Enterprises in perpetuity is to trick Yash into breaking the terms of the contract. He sends spies into Manchester’s Asian communities to track down Yash and Padma and ensnare them.

The struggle between renewal and revenge puts huge strains on Yash and Padma’s marriage as the philosophical becomes personal. Do they accept their new situation, or do they vow to return to India and settle old scores? The Gods had a hand in this too – where are they now when the couple need them most?

The answer comes in the form of Gopi in physical form as a poor, elderly Mancunian woman, but she remains as evasive and mysterious as ever. She moves in with Yash and Padma - a roof over her head in return for housekeeping duties. But Padma becomes unnerved by Gopi's familiarity with Yash and the influence she seems to exert.
