Synopsis
In 1921 India, Captain Sam Wyndham of the Calcutta police force secretly struggles with an opium addiction while investigating a brutal murder. The victim bears the same ritualistic injuries as a corpse Sam encountered in a drug-induced haze the night before, placing him in a precarious position. With his career on the line if his presence at an opium den is revealed, Sam must rely on his quick-witted Indian Sergeant, Surrender-Not Banerjee, to solve the two murders and keep his personal demons hidden before more lives are lost.
