Description
San Francisco, the beginning of the twentieth century. In a city full of newly minted millionaires and cunning con artists, two completely different women hope to change their fate: Gemma, a golden-haired soprano with an exceptional voice whose career desperately needs reviving, and Su-ling, a petite embroiderer from Chinatown determined to escape an arranged marriage. Their paths cross when they come into proximity with Henry Thornton, a charming railroad magnate whose extraordinary collection of Chinese antiques includes the legendary Phoenix Crown, a relic from the Summer Palace in Beijing. Thanks to Thornton, both women are presented with the opportunity to truly change their lives from the ground up. However, when a devastating earthquake and subsequent fire strike San Francisco, both Thornton and the precious crown vanish without a trace. Yet, five years later, the rare relic is miraculously set to reappear at a lavish masquerade ball in Paris...
