"Thugs are unlike any other. No remorse seems to posses their souls", - Philip M. Taylor's words that brutally simplify the complex nature and rigour of the Thuggee. Inspired by actual events and primarily set in a British prison in Sagar, India, circa 1832, the tale builds on the roguish life of the Indian Thug Ameer Ali. An anti-hero of sorts, Ameer Ali's rise to power only contrasts his eventual fall and the savage vengeance he brought upon his enemies. Journey through 19th Century colonial India and explore how the story mould Ali into a unique figure - one that came to be recognized as one of the most alluring serial murderers in Victorian literature.
