When the lifeless body of a young woman is found mutilated and abandoned on the shores of the River Forth, Detective Chief Inspector Suzanna McLeod is drawn into a case that will take her from the moody landscapes of Scotland to the bustling chaos of Kolkata. As she delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a chilling web of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and unspeakable brutality, exposing the darkest corners of human exploitation.
