Burma, 1852. Sergeant Arthur Bowman, of the East India Company, is chosen for a secret mission during the Second Anglo-Burmese War. The expedition goes wrong, and the men are captured and tortured for months. Only ten survive. London, 1858. While drowning in opium and alcohol, struggling with his ghosts, Bowman discovers the body of a man horribly mutilated in the sewers. Strangely, the victim seems to have suffered the same torture he endured in the Burmese jungle. Convinced that the culprit is one of his former fellow captives, Bowman decides to go in search of him. A quest that takes him to the United States. The path that will lead him to the truth will also be that of his redemption. From the Burmese jungle to the American West, this is the story of a man's metamorphosis, a personal quest where the values of a world in flux collide.
