Although Yingying’s mother was killed in a modern day persecution and the little girl is alone on the streets of Northern China, an enchanted art form could reunite them. Enter a child’s world, where hope and imagination are more powerful than police batons or state-sponsored violence, where noble determination conquers all.

When Chinese state television blames his faith for a fiery public suicide, Chen Ruichang is detained in a Clockwork Orange-style brainwashing facility and forced to accept the government's account.

Chen works for the secret police in communist China. His girlfriend Yun, not so much. A medical doctor by profession, she has uncovered a gruesome crime linking the communist party to the widely popular human bodies exhibits, and is determined to do something about it. Chen vowed to protect her at all costs, but as Yun gets more involved in the resistance, he must decide if she is an enemy of the state or the love of his life.
