The story surrounds three generations of a Chinese family. Over the years pain and shame have buried specific chapters of the family's history. The love between the granddaughter and a Japanese Nisei, reopen the grandfather' s unhealed pain as a survivor of the Nanking Holocaust and propel the family's Pandora's Box to burst open. The work is a play of healing and redemption.
