FLESH

A Vietnamese boy . . .
An alluring Chinese girl . . .
The execution ground in Hanoi at the turn of the 20th century . . .
The boy witnesses the beheading of his father and sets out to recover his head.
He vows to find an auspicious burial site to inter his father’s body and then find the traitor who sold his father to the authorities.
On this quest, the entire world will shift.
By twist and turn, he falls in love with a Chinese girl who works in an opium den in Hanoi only to find out a crushing shock that sends him spiraling downward.
His employer, the most enigmatic, most influential entrepreneur, has the answer for his problem.
When the boy faces the truth about the girl he’s madly in love with, and the employer whom he considers his surrogate father, he knows he has only one answer. . . .
From this backdrop . . .
FLESH takes you to the darkest side of life . . .
Where human relationship could take a sharp turn from killing for revenge to forgiving for the sake of humanity  . . .
Where romance could bring you the bleakest love . . .
Where innocence is lost and the heart forever aching.
