This is the story of the British, who are in charge of the Colony of Hong Kong and its industry, and of the Chinese, who know how to deal with their rulers to their own advantage. Into their midst come two Americans, expert in their own business and eager for a share of the Asian market but innocent of the unwritten rules of the Colony of Hong Kong.
