Synopsis

In 1898, Harry Feverham, an officer of the British Empire, refused to fight in Sudan and left the army. Synonymous with dishonor, his act immediately excludes him from London’s high society.

Misunderstood and tormented, Harry learns that his former regiment has fallen into the hands of Sudanese rebels. He decides to regain his honor by going to save his friends.
