1939: Daniel Lohr, sensing that the Nazis are closing in on the Jews, leaves his dying father in Berlin and boards a ship to Shanghai. His passage is a gift from a shady uncle, his father's brother, who had earlier fled to the East for more nefarious reasons. On board is Leah, also fleeing the Nazis. There is an immediate attraction but, once the ship docks in Shanghai, Daniel wonders if he will ever see her again. Plunged immediately into his uncle's seductive and corrupt world, Daniel becomes involved in the launch of a new nightclub, the biggest, best and most glitzy in town. When violence breaks out and lives are at risk, he finds himself drawn irrevocably into the terrifying underworld that is pre-war Shanghai.
