The famous detective, intellectual Christopher Banks, has dreamed of solving the mystery of his parents' disappearance since childhood - and he finally gets the chance to do so, setting off on the London-Shanghai route in very turbulent times. However, Christopher's investigation and his exotic journey gradually turn into a journey from the Present to the Past, from the world of illusions to the world of cruel reality...
