When her husband discovers heradulterous affair he forces her to accompany him to the heart of a choleraepidemic. Stripped of the British society of her youth and the small buteffective society she fought so hard to attain in Hong Kong she is compelledby her awakening conscience to reassess her life and learn how to love.
