Ian Gill's first visit to Hong Kong takes an unexpected turn when he meets his Chinese mother Billie's fellow ex-prisoners of war, revealing a tumultuous past in Shanghai and Hong Kong. He moves to Asia and unravels her intriguing journey: from adoption by an Englishman in Changsha to radio broadcaster in wartime Shanghai, from tragedy in a Japanese internment camp to being decorated by Queen Elizabeth II. And he finally meets his father for the first time.
