Synopsis: Los Angeles, 1908. In Chinatown, the most
dangerous beat in Los Angeles, police matron Anna Blanc and her former
sweetheart, Detective Joe Singer, discover the body of a white missionary
woman, stuffed in a trunk in the apartment of her Chinese lover. Her lover has
fled. If news gets out that a white woman was murdered in Chinatown, there will
be a violent backlash against the Chinese. Joe and Anna plan to solve the crime
quietly and keep the death a secret. So does good-looking Mr. Jones, a
prominent Chinese leader who has mixed feelings about helping the LAPD and
about Anna.
Meanwhile, the Hop Sing tong has kidnapped two slave girls
from the Bing Kong tong, fuelling existing tensions. They are poised on the
verge of a bloody tong war that would put all Chinatown residents in
danger.
Joe orders Anna out of Chinatown to keep her safe, but to
atone for her own family's sins, Anna must stay to solve the crime before news
of the murder is leaked and Chinatown explodes.
