Setting: Nepal
Suman's grandmother, Ajee, is getting old. With the possibility of her getting sick, it is important that he is able to help her cross the Karnali River regardless if it is the rainy season or not. Discovering an important technology known as the TarPul (wire bridge), Suman quickly learns that the most convenient location for the TarPul may not necessarily be the best. With the help of Kedar, a geotechnical engineer, Suman learns about soil types, erosion, and soil compaction. By choosing the best location for the TarPul, Suman is able to guarantee that Ajee will be able to get to the clinic on the other side of the Karnali River no matter what!
