Description
1909, Seattle. At the World's Fair, a half-Chinese boy named Ernest Young is raffled off as a prize. He ends up working as a servant in a brothel in Seattle's famed Red Light District and falls in love with Maisie, the daughter of a flamboyant madam, and Fahn, a karayuki-san, a Japanese maid sold into servitude.
On the eve of the new World's Fair in 1962, Ernest looks back on the past and the memories he made with his beloved wife, while his daughter, a reporter, begins to unravel their tragic history.
