When a friendship formed in adolescence turns into unyielding enmity in middle age, King Drupada of Panchala brings forth two fiery beings—Krishnaa and Dhrishtadyumna—to destroy his enemy, Drona, the son of Bharadvaja, along with his allied forces. He raises them as his own children. The dark-skinned maiden, as Drupada’s daughter, becomes known as Draupadi. She marries the five Pandavas. Meanwhile, among the descendants of Bharata, a struggle for power begins. Alliances of strength emerge on both sides—among the Kauravas and the Pandavas. But Draupadi, wife of the five Pandavas, cannot confine herself within the narrow factional disputes of power and possession. She begins to seek a new path—one that would give birth to a new kind of human, a human who would usher in the dawn of a new era. But how? At this critical juncture she meets Krishna, the lord of the Yadus. And then?
