Set in 19th century India, a British officer goes undercover to get the goods on a cult whose members have ritually murdered and robbed thousands of travelers.
Synopsis
Fact-based story of a 19th century, straight-laced British officer stationed in India, who risks dismissal, as well as death, when he decides to investigate an ancient, secret sect called Thuggee, who murder in the name of the Hindu goddess Kali, and is responsible for the massacre of his men. The sect may destroy him before he gathers the proof he needs.
