In 1937, undercurrents in Shanghai gnawed at the city like bone-deep poison.
Zhang Yunzhan, a rising star in the Military Statistics Bureau, is a favored guest of the Japanese, a defiant son beneath his father's cane, and the mortal enemy of his younger sister, Lili.
No one knows that beneath his bloodstained uniform is burned the Chinese Communist Party's top-secret codename: “Skiff.”
Twenty-year-old Zhang Lili first encounters the chaos of war between leaflets and gun barrels.
When her father dies at the execution ground protecting his “traitor” son, and her mother uses a market basket to pass along a defense map,
she finally sees clearly: this swaying vessel of lies carries a spark destined to consume the darkness.
Torn between three identities, Skiff is on the verge of capsizing;
with the family's survival hanging by a thread, a spark becomes a prairie fire.
“Brother, you steer. I'll light the way!”
In the thick fog over the Huangpu River, the Morning Star is tearing through the long night.
