Li Jun, a bright and ambitious young man, has recently arrived in Denver from China, seeking a better life for himself and his family. However, he soon finds himself caught in the crosshairs of the growing anti-Chinese sentiment that has gripped the city. As tensions escalate, Li Jun witnesses firsthand the horrors of the riots, as Chinese businesses are looted and burned, and Chinese immigrants are attacked and killed.

Amidst the chaos and violence, Li Jun finds solace in the love and support of his fellow Chinese immigrants. Together, they form a community of resilience, determined to survive and rebuild their lives in the face of adversity. Through Li Jun's experiences, we gain a profound understanding of the struggles and triumphs of the Chinese community during this turbulent period.
