Like a Sikh man with the beard and turban, AMRIT SINGH is most usually the mark of racial profiling. However, if he sees his own dreams of becoming Chief of Surgery at a transplant center dwindle because of his look, Amrit goes contrary to a heritage he has maintained his whole lifetime and cuts his own hair. Seeing this decision out of family and his girlfriend in Toronto is just the beginning of a set of compromises Amrit finds himself earning as he copes with hospital politics and health care injustices. Amrit begins to reevaluate the worthiness of these traditions, when his compromises end in the departure of an individual.
