Peking, 1900. Amidst the terror of the Boxer Rebellion, a young China-born Englishwoman finds herself under siege alongside the city’s overseas population. Unaccustomed to European ways, Nina Ward embarks on an affair with married diplomat Oscar Fairchild, risking her future as death draws ever closer. Journalist Alistair Scott records the controversy, trying to separate the reckless pair as the siege grows bloodier and the scandal grows louder. Based on real historical events.
