Hong Kong, 2012. Dimitri Johnson, a British Hongkonger, learns that he is dying. Stunned by the news, he goes to the annual candlelight vigil for the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre. How strange, he thinks, the nearly dead honouring the memory of the already dead. Over on the mainland, Dimitri's best friend, a Chinese academic, has been arrested for protesting against an official land grab in his ancestral village. So begins the ultimate struggle of Dimitri's life as he battles against an insidious cancer and fights to help his persecuted colleague. He'll also discover whether things have really changed in China for the post-Tiananmen generation.
