But success may come with at a price. Meanwhile the interwoven lives of her childhood best friends ? Haaris, Aalya, and Zohair ? seem to be unraveling with each passing day.

Then one fateful night someone ends up dead and the life they once took for granted shatters.
2019 ? Rozeena receives a call from a voice she never thought she’d hear again. What begins as an request to look after a friend’s teenaged granddaughter grows into an unconventional friendship ? one that unearths buried secrets and just might ruin everything Rozeena has worked so hard to protect.
Captivating and atmospheric, Under the Tamarind Tree shows us the high-stakes ripple effects of generational trauma, and the lengths people will go to safeguard the ones they love.
