1865, India. Humza and his friend Ranj set off on a daring quest to find Humza’s missing brother, Dani, in London.
After a terrifying journey, they are welcomed by a seemingly kind Englishman who leads them to an inn. There, Daisy, the innkeeper’s daughter, warns them – they’ve been captured by the notorious child snatcher!
