When Balore is executed and his fiancée dies of heartbreak in Europe, a supernatural curse takes shape: a severed hand comes to haunt the now-Governor Lawrence, intent on making him answer for his ambition and lies. As the ghostly hand closes in, Lawrence discovers that some debts cannot be escaped, no matter how high he climbs.
