Young Violet considers herself a true American, although she lives not in the United States, but in early twentieth-century Shanghai, where her beautiful mother, who has no time for her daughter, runs an establishment called "The Secret Jade Road" - a "flower house" that caters to both Chinese men and Westerners. The girl, suffering from loneliness, spies on the courtesans for days on end, not knowing that the same fate awaits her, and dreams of learning something about her father. But the fulfillment of this dream sets off a chain of catastrophic events. Violet's world collapses, and she, growing up and submitting to the harsh circumstances, is forced to create a new one. There will come a moment, and she will be able to understand her mother ...
