Set against the tumultuous backdrop of San Francisco during the 1906 earthquake, the story follows Ruth Greer, the privileged daughter of a shipping magnate. Her life takes a turn when she discovers a young boy who has fled from Chinatown, a neighborhood rife with gambling, opium dens, and the dangers posed by highbinder tongs. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the stark contrasts between wealth and hardship in a city on the brink of disaster.
