But she's completely unprepared when it turns out her father doesn't even know she exists... and he's a mega-famous film star... in Bollywood!  Now Abby's traveling to Mumbai to get to know her talented father.  But the culture clash is overwhelming, as are the pressures of being the daughter of India's most famous celebrity, and the burden of keeping her identity a secret. As she learns to navigate her new surroundings, will Abby discover where she really belongs?
