Spoilers ahead
John Whitney, an anthropologist for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, travels to a distant South American tribe to study their ways and samples a soup the tribesmen offer him. Afterward, he confronts a ship’s captain, urging him to remove a cargo bound for Chicago. The captain refuses, unwilling to delay the voyage, so Whitney quietly slips aboard. When he cannot locate the intended cargo, he raises the alarm, leaving the ship to soundly depart into the sea.
Six weeks pass, and the vessel finally reaches Lake Michigan with its crew unaccounted for. Chicago PD lieutenant Vincent D’Agosta and his partner, Sergeant Hollingsworth, begin to piece together a grim mystery as they uncover dozens of corpses stacked in the ship’s bilge.
