James Jameson III heir to the tremendously successful Irish Whiskey empire was living the high society life in 1886 when he applied to go on an expedition along the Congo river. His thirst for knowledge lead him down a dark curiosity for cannibalism and he decides to make a barter that changed the way people looked and felt about him. Although his wife maintains the decision he made was believed to be a joke, others who witnessed the events have a different opinion.
