China, 1915 Two young sisters, Sulan and May, are sold to a rich merchant and his wife, who take them to Vancouver, Canada. An ocean apart from their family, they don't know where they are, they don't speak the language, and they are prisoners in their master's house, forced to care for a cruel, sadistic mistress and her bratty son. They are subjected to degrading indignities-rape, torture, and sexual abuse. They are pawns in a grownup game, but struggle to survive. Years later when they are finally reunited with their mother and aunt, they learn the shocking secret about the dangerous man who enslaved them, but in spite of all that has happened to them, both sisters find love and happiness in their new country.
