Like birds trapped in an open cage, two dreamers fight to understand what it means to belong. Daniel doesn't feel like he belongs in New York, he yearns to venture west in search of gold and experience.
Its a shame he is 30 years late to see that dream come true.
In a small town in eastern California lives a Chinese girl who belongs more to the town than in it. With no family and no name, she is as good as invisible to the world; sometimes she even wishes she was.
When Daniel passes through her town, he sees her. Not just her foreign face and dirty dress, but her. And for the first time in her life, she is not alone.
Together and apart, they learn to toe the line between contentment and never ending hunger for adventure. They deal with the fallout of the 1906 Earthquake of San Francisco. They uncover terrifying truths about the history of her people.
In the end, they are left to wonder who, where, or to what cause, if any, their hearts should belong.
