In Jazz-Age Shanghai, Jingwen dances at the cabaret by day and runs errands for a powerful gang by night. But when a mysterious attacker steals faces from her fellow dancers, Jingwen is plunged into a world of wealthy businessmen, silver-limbed gangs and vengeful gods as she tries to uncover the culprit.
An irresistibly dark, atmospheric reimagining of 1930s Shanghai filled with glamour, gods and gangsters.
