An 18-part serialisation of John Masters' chronicles of the Savage family, spanning the years 1825-1946 and set against the backdrop of British rule in India. Based on the hugely popular novels of John Masters, this landmark BBC Radio adaptation charts the history of the British in India through the perspective of one family over several generations. Ranging over more than 120 years, these thrilling tales of love, murder and espionage take us from the expansion of the East India Company to the last days of the Raj and the approach of Independence.

World War II has finally played itself out, and the British are leaving India. Through this vortex is spun a fictional plot of terror and politics that illustrates all-too-well the curse that still plagues India today.

Mary Stevenson, retired operator of the elite Vital Information Network Exchange (VINE), was a legend in her field—a master of uncovering hidden truths amidst webs of deception. After years of distinguished service, she disappeared into quiet obscurity. Or so it seemed. When Mary vanishes without a trace—no digital footprint, no explanation, and no leads—VINE is thrown into disarray. As panic spreads, unsettling whispers surface about a top-secret, fourth-dimensional experimental device.

Efter nogle tumultariske år i 1600-tallets England øjner den unge Jason Savage en chance for at starte forfra. Da han må flygte fra en uretfærdig dom for krybskytteri og det uheldige udfald af en ridderdatters opmærksomhed, går han ombord på en skib mod Indien. Jasons nye liv viser sig dog slet ikke så enkelt, som han havde håbet. Politisk ustabilitet i kolonistaten, en romance med en lokal pige lovet væk til en indisk gud og den uønskede kærlighed fra en halvt blind pige gør hans liv kompliceret og farligt.

Med mottoet "koste hvad det vil" er Peter Savage fast besluttet på, at intet må komme i vejen for hans fremgang i verden. Hans voldelige og egoistiske natur danner grundlag for alt, hvad han gør, både i sit liv som soldat i det britisk koloniserede Indien og i hans ambition om at blive verdens bedste bjergbestiger. Afgørende for hans sejre er de mennesker omkring ham som han koldblodigt manipulerer - fra sine to loyale venner til de kvinder han følelsesmæssigt udnytter.

Giacomo Casanova's reputation rests largely on his obsession with women, but he was much more than the great 18th-century lover. Lawyer, mathematician, poet, translator, and librarian who was fluent in several languages, he was described by one contemporary as "the most civilized man in Europe." That he was also a con man, cabalist, spy, revenge-taker, and experienced prisoner only enhances his appeal as one who personified the extreme social and moral contradictions of the time.

Around a low-burning fire in a jungle clearing, a small group of late travelers huddles: a merchant, a Sikh with his son, a farmer. Silently, two men, flanking one of the travelers, crouch forward. A dirty cloth flashes momentarily and jerks around the traveler’s neck. One of the men tugs the cloth, the other forces the traveler’s head over to one side. Thuggee death has struck; Kali is assuaged.
