1946 Choseon (Korea). Beautiful and brilliant Dr. Maria Arden returns to the country of her birth as the medical advisor to the U.S. Army—a stranger in an unfamiliar land ravaged by wars and corruption. There, she meets Dr. Kyeongju Lee, an alluring, mysterious woman shunned by society. Their innocent flirtations turn into a heated, forbidden love affair, as an illegal trade in opium threatens Choseon’s fragile stability. Two outsiders drawn helplessly to each other, but… everything was a lie.
