US Army Lieutenant Billy Boyle, an ex-cop who serves as detective for General Ike, is sent to Caserta, Italy, to investigate the murders of two American officers stationed there. The MOs are completely different, and it seems like the officers had no connection to each other, but one frightening fact links the murders. Each body was discovered with a single playing card: the lieutenant’s with the ten of hearts; the captain’s, the jack of hearts.

The descent into darkness during World War II reveals a chilling yet fascinating facet of human behavior under extreme duress. In the unforgiving landscapes of Singapore and New Guinea, Japanese soldiers engaged in acts of cannibalism that transcended mere survival instincts. This horrific practice was not solely driven by starvation but became a macabre ritual, a twisted means of reinforcing camaraderie among soldiers. The act of consuming the flesh of captured POWs served as a grim assertion of power, a stark statement that they had dominion over life and death.

There are perpetual loose ends that continue to multiply and carry on a legacy that began well before the Second World War.
