From award-winning author Paul Jaskunas comes a glimpse into the decadent, amoral world of the expats who make Hong Kong their playground.

Junior exec Ben thought working for a prestigious bank in Hong Kong would be a career-building adventure and an exotic change from his staid Long Island upbringing. In the complex splendor of Hong Kong, he finds himself in a position of extreme privilege—a position in which everything is seen as a commodity. When he and his colleagues take an outing on the South China Sea to escape the city smog, a sordid secret is revealed. Sickened, Ben questions what sort of man he has become in this glittering, seedy world where even human beings can be converted into currency.
