The novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, India, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is
being held after correctly answering all twelve questions on India's biggest
quiz show, Who Will Win a Billion? It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who
has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But
through a series of exhilarating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes
in his life gave him the answer to each question.
