A sweeping historical adventure set during British colonial expansion in Hong Kong, driven by commercial ambition and personal moral complexity against a backdrop of imperial conquest.

The film begins following the British victory of the first Opium War and the seizure of Hong Kong. Although the island is largely uninhabited and the terrain unfriendly, it has a large port that both the British government and various trading companies believe will be useful for the import of merchandise to be traded on mainland China, a highly lucrative market.
