From the utopian, conflict-free planet of Elysium, where beings exist as fluid energy forms, comes PK, a highly analytical alien anthropologist on a critical mission of emic immersion. His goal: to understand the paradox of human civilization-a species of immense artistic and technological potential, yet perpetually divided by self-destructive social hierarchies, caste discrimination, and institutional decay.
To truly grasp the raw, chaotic nature of social injustice, he must live it from the inside. His chosen vessel is Advocate Rajesh, a renowned Delhi-based lawyer from an upper-caste Brahmin family, celebrated for championing Dalit rights and fighting caste-based atrocities. Rajesh has just been assassinated in a suspicious car accident, his body mangled on a rain-slicked highway. In a daring act of interstellar science, PK uses a neural-resurrection device to rebuild the body and integrate his own consciousness, becoming PK/Rajesh.
