Plot

In the politically tumultuous 1950s, American journalist Louis Hoyt mysteriously vanishes within the intricate labyrinths of China, stirring whispers of his detainment by the Communist regime on espionage allegations. His wife, the determined and resolute Jane Hoyt, finds herself drawn to the exotic allure of Hong Kong, driven by the solitary aim of locating her missing husband. In her pursuit, she seeks the aid of Hank Lee, an enigmatic shipping tycoon with questionable motives, who initially attempts to discourage Jane from venturing into the perilous terrain of Red China. However, Jane's desperation leads her down a darker path, into the snares of Fernand Rocha, a local with a reputation as tainted as his intentions. After Jane's funds are squandered by the duplicitous Rocha who also confines her against her will, Hank Lee, moved by her plight, resolves to embark on the treacherous quest himself. Illegally penetrating the iron curtain of Red China, Hank Lee plunges headlong into a world brimming with danger at every corner, as he navigates the intricate web of political intrigue and deceit in his quest to find Louis Hoyt. The stakes are high and the journey fraught with peril, yet Hank is undeterred, driven by a newfound sense of purpose and compassion.
