La diosa Kali aparece representada con cuatro brazos, es eterna, y su canto produce el sonido de la muerte. En la sofocante y caótica ciudad de Calcuta, un occidental, el periodista Robert Luczak, pretende entrevistar a M. Das, un poeta al que nadie ha visto desde hace diez años pero del que se asegura que continúa vivo. En Calcuta, sin embargo, nada resulta sencillo y lo que empezó como un trabajo rutinario se convierte en una pesadilla en la que Luczak sólo escucha mentiras y choca contra el muro de la indiferencia oficial cuando acude a las autoridades en busca de ayuda.

El periodista se siente subyugado por la extraña y fantástica historia de un hombre que dice ser uno de los adeptos al culto de Kali, una secta secreta al margen de la ley. El hombre asegura que el culto existe todavía y que el fallecido Das ha vuelto a la vida mediante una espeluznante y sangrienta ceremonia en la que han ofrecido un sacrificio humano a la diosa.

Luczak y su familia se ven atrapados por los designios de fuerzas antiguas e inexorables, inmersos en un torbellino de violencia que está a punto de acabar no sólo con ellos, sino con el mundo entero, en una apocalíptica orgía de muerte.
