A year after their father’s funeral, the three Whitman brothers find themselves strangers to one another. Francis, the eldest, has organized a "spiritual journey" across India. He has printed laminated itineraries, secured expensive passports, and booked a trip on the Darjeeling Limited , a luxurious train winding through the Rajasthan landscape.

They reunite with their mother, a nun living in the Himalayas, for a brief, awkward, and painful encounter that cements their realization: they only have each other. As the film ends, they are running to catch the train one last time, but this time, they are running together, finally ready to move forward.
