"Line of Descent" (previously known as 'The Field'), follows an established Indian mafia family after the death of their patriarch. Things brew to a boiling point as his three sons go to war over the future of their criminal enterprise, while an accomplished cop (Indian star Abhay Deol) conducts an undercover operation amidst their infighting. On the side-lines a manipulative arms-dealer (Brendan Fraser) sees an opportunity to increase his bottom line and conspires with all the brothers, thereby fusing all stories into one.
