If you pay enough for a lie, does it become the truth?
When a helicopter crashes through the skylight of the Asian Art Museum, an
audacious heist turns into a tragedy. The only witness to the crash is eleven
year-old Grace, who watches in horror as her uncle is killed and a priceless
statue stolen. Spotted by the thieves, Grace flees into the night and seeks
refuge in the back alleys of San Francisco?s Chinatown.
Hunted and alone, she is found by Sally Mei, a former assassin and selfappointed guardian of Chinatown. She enlists her erstwhile partner Cape
Weathers, private detective and professional troublemaker, to find whoever is
behind the museum robbery before they find Grace.
