Tulip

Central Asia, 1880's. A field botanist stumbles across the rarest of tulip flowers growing in a shaman's garden. She's willling to sell him a bundle full of tulip bulb's but first he must eat one, then make love to her (the side effects are useful, though otherworldly). After arriving in Holland, the valuable bundle goes missing. Convinced a poor, crippled dock worker is the thief, the botanist goes in hot pursuit. When he fails to return his son asks the local Constable to investigate. When the Constable meets up with the dock worker's wife and the couple's teenaged daughter a curse is unleashed, and the seven people collide in the most intimate, and heart-wrenching of ways.
