Plot

Bim (pronounced Bheem) Singh is an Indo-Trinidadian teenage boy living in the rural Indian countryside of Chaguanas in Caroni County in central Trinidad with his parents and sister during the British colonial era. The character is based partly on Bhadase Sagan Maraj and partly on Boysie Singh according to historian Angelo Bissessarsingh. He is friends with a girl his age named Anna. His sister Ria is going to marry Ramdass, and Bim's father, Bhagwan Singh, a famous trade union leader and activist, is in a feud with rival Gopaul. On the day of Ria's wedding, Bhagwan Singh sends his men to kill Gopaul's two sons: Harry and Charlie. Sookdeo informs him that the men have killed Harry, but Charlie escapes. Bhagwan Singh orders whatever it takes for Charlie to be killed. Bim is seen with Anna throughout the wedding and his father's friends joke about him and Anna getting married. Later that night, while Bhagwan Singh and his family are enjoying the wedding festivities, Charlie arrives at Bhagwan Singh's house, kills him and shoots Bim.
