In nineteenth-century San Francisco, a newly arrived martial artist becomes involved in the rivalries of Chinatown's powerful tongs. Business, politics and racial violence shape a city where almost every alliance has a cost. Brothel owner Ah Toy has built a position of influence through careful judgment and a willingness to defend the women around her. Her developing relationship with wealthy widow Nellie Davenport adds another possibility to a life organized around survival. Across the second and third seasons, their romance is tested by differences in power and by the dangers surrounding them. The historical action drama treats their intimacy as one significant thread within an expansive, often brutal struggle for autonomy.
