Set in 1927 China, this historical epic follows the lives of a diverse group of foreigners and locals caught in the turmoil of a land divided by petty tyrants and military adventurers after the fall of the empire. The story centers on Philip Embree, a young missionary whose life is irrevocably changed when his train is hijacked by bandits, leading him to join the elite bodyguard of the powerful General Tang and become embroiled in a complex web of loyalty and passion.
