Story
In Kenya during the early 1940s, a millionaire past his prime and his young wife join a group of wealthy British expatriates living a decadent lifestyle filled with parties, drugs, and extramarital affairs. The wife begins an affair with one of the other men, and her husband eventually finds out about it. Instead of causing a scene, they decide to separate amicably. However, their plan goes awry when the man with whom the wife had the affair is murdered. All evidence points towards the husband, who must now prove his innocence.
