Song of Kali is the story of Robert Luzcak, an American writer sent to Calcutta to ferret out a poet producing new work after being presumed dead for nearly a decade. Robert soon finds himself embroiled in the apocalyptic madness of a cult dedicated to Kali, goddess of war and destruction. Robert's son is kidnapped and killed by the cult and the poet, Das, is killed or commits suicide. Robert and his wife depart, despairing, and attempt to piece their life back together.
