Unable to go to the United States, Neel's next option is a job at a call centre where he assumes an American identity. Meanwhile, in faraway New York, Angela Cruz has escaped her racist father and life in Jackson, Mississippi, and is a journalist chasing her big story - of a school band of immigrant kids in a New York suburb who have been selected to perform at a musical extravaganza but don't have the money to fly there.
Angela buys a computer, it malfunctions, and she calls the call centre to scream at them. She meets Neel, and, many many conversations later, they tumble into a faraway romance.
ONCE UPON A TIMEZONE is a funny, light-hearted look at two people, in two different continents who are both trying to escape similar worlds of prejudice, and who realise somewhere along the way that mix-ups and cover-ups, nationalities and distances, notwithstanding, they are deeply in love.
