Shanghai, 1927. A Communist movement is preparing an uprising against the Nationalist government, and a small circle of revolutionaries, agents and idealists is drawn into the danger. Among them are men prepared to kill for the cause and others who doubt whether violence can achieve anything. The novel follows these figures through the tense days before the attempt, moving between crowded streets, offices and private rooms where plans are made. It is a story about commitment, political conviction and what a human life is worth when history demands it.
