Eurocentric arrogance prompts all the people who handle and acquire a strange Ceylonese curio to dismiss the legend surrounding it, which is that it is a death stone, and holding it presages an early demise. The first to discover it is Jane, who is the fiance of an architect. When she is killed in a run-in with some drug dealers, her fiancee goes on the rampage, dealing out plenty of lethal martial arts kicks and blows and setting up the villains for some serious revenge while the Ceylonese locals celebrate their colorful festivals. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
