At the end of the 19th century, Roger Casement, a young and idealistic British diplomat of Irish descent, travels to the Congo to oversee the Crown's interests and uncovers the crimes of Belgian exploitation against the native communities. Years later, in the Colombian Amazon, Casement witnesses the horrors committed by British rubber companies.
