Sinopsis

1857. The carnage of the Crimean War is over and the Rifle Brigade returns to peacetime soldiering, but then the word comes from India that the Sepoy regiments of the East India Company have mutinied, and the jewel in the crown of the British Empire is in danger of being lost. The Rifle Brigade embark for India, but there is a long sea voyage ahead of them. In the meantime the British soldiers already in India must hold out against vastly superior numbers. And so the bloodbath begins.
