Shanghai, 1990, durante la gran mutacion economica emprendida por Deng Xiaoping. El asesino de la joven Guan Hong Ying, una celebridad politica trabajadora como modelo nacional, se convierte en un caso delicado para la imagen del Partido, un año despues de los acontecimientos de la Plaza Tienamen. El recien asecendido inspector jefe Chen Cao, joven cuadro en auge y poeta de renombre, se muestra poco convencido por la mascara de perfeccion de la heoina roja, entregada a la causa del Partido, sin amigos ni amante. Con la complicidad de su ayudante el inspector Yu Guangming. Chen Cao inicia una investigacion larga y minuciosa que lo llevara a descubrir el mundo secreto de Guan y una realidad muy alejada de la propaganda oficial sobre el viejo mito comunista. A imagen de aquella sociedad de los años noventa, confrontada a un cambio acelerado, llena de contrastes y contradicciones, dividida entre las tentaciones capitalistas y la hegemonia tambaleante del Partido
