Description
1909, Seattle. At the Worldโs Fair a half-Chinese boy called Ernest Young is raffled off as a prize. He ends up working in a brothel in Seattleโs famed Red Light District and falls in love with Maisie, the daughter of a flamboyant madam, and Fahn, a karayuki-san, a Japanese maid sold into servitude.
On the eve of the new Worldโs Fair in 1962, Ernest looks back on the past, the memories he made with his beloved wife while his daughter, a reporter, begins to unravel their tragic past.
