After their American missionary parents are murdered in China in
1835, Noah and Mary Cole are given passage out of China on an
American merchant ship bound for Hawaii. Before their ship can
reach its destination, it is attacked by Chinese pirates. Noah is
thrown into the ocean, and Mary is taken captive and eventually
sold to a bordello in Yoshiwara, the centuries-old Japanese
pleasure quarter. Noah is rescued by a Dutch ship bound for Dejima,
the manmade island in Nagasaki Bay, where the Dutch and the Chinese
are allowed to trade with the Japanese but not allowed to leave the
island and enter Japan. In Dejima, Noah learns that his sister may
be in Yoshiwara, and despite overwhelming odds, he sets out on a
perilous journey to rescue her.
