- San Francisco, 1878. Ah Sahm, a newly arrived Chinese immigrant with serious fighting skills, is introduced to Chinatown's most ruthless tong, the Hop Wei, by Chao, a fixer. After impressing Young Jun, son of tong leader Father Jun, Ah Sahm is branded and taken to a brothel, where he befriends Ah Toy, a courtesan with connections. Later, in search of a woman who left China two years earlier, Ah Sahm crosses paths with Mai Ling and Li Yong, followers of the rival tong leader Long Zii, who is trying to avoid an opium war with the Hop Wei, a war that Walter Buckley, deputy to San Francisco Mayor Samuel Blake, actively promotes. Meanwhile, after two Chinese laborers are killed by white thugs, police sergeant "Big Bill" O'Hara is tasked with creating a Chinatown squad. Enlisting southern-born cop Richard Henry Lee, Bill soon finds that the hostility between the Chinese and white dock workers, whose unofficial leader is Irish tough Dylan Leary, is unlikely to end anytime soon.

- San Francisco, 1880s. Large numbers of Chinese migrants are arriving in the US, largely to fill the labour needs of the burgeoning western states. This is resulting in hostility between white, largely Irish, workers and the Chinese migrants. One such migrant is Ah Sahm, a highly skilled fighter. His skill set quickly gets him a job with the largest Chinese criminal gang in San Franciso. However, he didn't come to America for a job - he's looking for a particular woman. His searching for her leads him down a dangerous path.—grantss
