The film portrays a journey from Oxford, England to Niger on the trail of a colonial killer called Captain Paul Voulet. Voulets descent into barbarity mirrors that of Kurtz in Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'. Nylander discovers Voulets massacres happened at exactly the same time that Conrad wrote his book in 1899. In Niger, Nylander meets Nigerien communities along the route of Voulets trail who have lived with the legacy of his destruction.
