Somewhere in England, not long ago... In an unnamed town Jugnu and his lover Chanda have disappeared. Rumours abound in the close-knit Pakistani community, and then on a snow-cover ed January morning Chanda's brothers are arrested for murder. 'Maps for Lost Lovers' tells the story of the next twelve months. What follows is the unravelling of all that is sacred to Jugnu's brother and sister-in-law, Shamas and Kaukab. As the seasons pass Kaukab tries desperately to maintain her Islamic piety as she struggles to come to terms with double murder and its corrosive effect on her family.
