In modern-day Singapore, a young woman is about to break all rules.
Yin Ling - enigmatic, beautiful, and engaged to the wealthy, politically ambitious Vincent Chee - falls clandestinely in love with Ben Gallagher, an outspoken American professor. Ben is equally mesmerised by Yin Ling and the depth of her inner life, which finds expression in secret poems and an unwavering devotion to an old, eccentric family servant, whose obsession it is to return a mysterious statue of her god to his rightful home before she dies.
Beyond the certainty of Ben and Yin Ling's love are a hundred uncertainties that break when heart and head collide: East or West; duty or passion; reality or a dream. And Yin Ling must choose: which god should she follow?
