En 1858, Thomas Glover deja su ciudad natal en Escocia para trabajar en Nagasaki. Joven y ambicioso, pronto domina el comercio de té, seda y opio, involucrándose más tarde en la venta clandestina de armas en medio de una delicada intriga política en Japón. Esta exuberante saga narra el viaje espiritual de un hombre cuya influencia ayudó a cambiar el destino del Japón moderno, con una intensidad dramática que inspiró obras como Madame Butterfly. Es una combinación perfecta de aventura y reflexión lírica con una profunda textura filosófica budista.
