When a handsome naive young doctor, Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) arrives in 1970's Uganda - hoping for fun, sun and to lend a helping hand - he finds himself instead on a shocking ride into the darkest realm on earth: the human heart.
Soon after his arrival, Garrigan is called to the scene of a bizarre accident and impresses Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker) as brazenly forthright. Already obsessed with Scottish history and culture, Amin takes an instant liking to Garrigan and soon offers him the unlikely job of becoming his personal physician.
At first, Garrigan is seduced by Amin's famously charming personality and ambitious plans for Uganda, but quickly finds himself trapped in the moral abyss of Amin's murderous megalomania, where he winds up in a desperate fight for survival.
