Synopsis
When the twilight dims and the Jewel of the Orient fades, will truth and justice rise again? Will the dreams of yesteryear return to restore all that was withered and lost?
A lone city, desperate to remain free. All around, war rages. The Kuomintang has fled, and the eyes of the world have turned away as Europe crumbles. Surrounding the city borders, the Empire of Japan lurks, waiting for its chance to stake its claim on Asia's last bright gem.
In a final bid to protect his home, Clark Yuan allies with Shanghai's colonial lords, leveraging their facade of might to keep Japan's army at bay. Covertly, he joins forces with the Chinese secret police, waging a deadly war of resistance against enemies and traitors alike.
Will he succeed? When darkness falls and all hope is gone, what can one man do to save the ones he loves?

For Eden Levine, the risk comes close to home when an agent of Japan seeks to make her a pawn to cover their heinous acts in a web of lies. With Shanghai left as the sole voice of freedom, the tyrants of Occupied China unleash a reign of terror to silence those who dare to speak.
Defying the threat, she takes up a guise to continue her work. Along the way, she meets Alex Mitchell, the daredevil radio news reporter on a one-man crusade to expose to the world the horrors in the East. Their hunt for truth brings them closer than she expected.
But as his pursuit of justice brings him to the brink, can she follow him to the end when her heart beckons her to take a different path?
"In times of war, love is a luxury we can't afford."
