Follow a magical cast of storm-tossed characters, from the lush islands of Mauritius to the alleys and waterways of 19th century Canton. In the crowded harbours, people come to find their fortunes, opium merchants from Europe and India exchange their illicit cargo for riches and an Englishman goes in search of a mythical flower.
