In the best performance of his career, Patrick Swayze stars as Max Lowe, a disillusioned surgeon who travels to India after a young patient dies on the operating table. But Lowe’s determination to quit medicine is challenged when he meets a committed British nurse who runs a free clinic in Calcutta’s most dangerous neighbourhood. And when her clinic - and the livelihood of her neighbours - is threatened by the brutal local “godfather”, Max teaches the impoverished Indians the strength of their own unity.
