 Sudan, the end of the XIX century. The rebel leader Magdi declares jihad against the Egyptian authorities and the subjects of the British Empire. The city of Khartoum is under siege. Day and night, Magdi's drums sing about the death that awaits every infidel. Thousands of innocent civilians are trapped. The Maghdists are about to storm the city. The only hope for salvation is to wait for the de-blockade forces from the north. The fates of a handful of Europeans intertwined in the whirlwind of cruelty - the fearless general Charles Gordon, the adventurer merchant Ryder Courtney, the brave Englishwoman Rebecca Benbrook, the daredevil officer Penrod Bellentine. The loss of loved ones and betrayal of friends, captivity and slavery, love for the enemy and bloody battles in the millstones of history - it is so hard to survive in this fever! And not to lose the most valuable thing - humanity.
