With the threat of famine looming, ten-year-old Jade is sold by her desperate family to Miss Silver's courtesan school in the bustling city of Pyongyang.

As the Japanese army tears through the country, she is forced to flee to the southern city of Seoul.

Soon, her path crosses with that of an orphan named JungHo, a chance encounter that will lead to a life-changing friendship.
