If you pay enough for a lie, does it become the truth?

When a helicopter crashes through the skylight of the Asian Art Museum, an audacious heist turns into a tragedy. The only witness to the crash is eleven year-old Grace, who watches in horror as her uncle is killed and a priceless statue stolen. Spotted by the thieves, Grace flees into the night and seeks refuge in the back alleys of San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Hunted and alone, she is found by Sally Mei, a former assassin and self-appointed guardian of Chinatown. She enlists her erstwhile partner Cape Weathers, private detective and professional troublemaker, to find whoever is behind the museum robbery before they find Grace.
