Fifteen-year-old Munna lives with his Ma and sisters in a small town in India. Because the family is poor, he is sold to a Sheikh's camel farm in a Gulf country. Here he must train the young camel jockeys. In despair, he realizes that he is trapped and there is no escape. But with encouragement from a Canadian scientist and his spunky teenage daughter, Avra, Munna stumbles upon a discovery that will end the slavery of the camel kids.
