In modern-day Singapore, a successful society upheld by stern government and a respectful population, a young woman is about to break all the rules.
Yin Ling - enigmatic, beautiful and engaged to be married to the wealthy, politically ambitious Vincent Chee - falls clandestinely in love with Professor Ben Gallagher, an outspoken American professor.
Ben, in turn, is 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, Ah Heng Cheh, 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 out when heart and head collide: East or West; duty or passion; reality or a dream. Yin Ling must choose; which god should she follow?
