1816. CANTON. A CLAMOROUS, DANGEROUS, EXCITING CITY IN AN ALIEN LAND. A THRIVING CITY WHOSE MOST PROFITABLE TRADE IS ALSO ITS MOST SECRET: OPIUM. To this bustling corner of China comes red-haired Charlie Tyson, dispatched from England by his callous father. Overwhelmed at first, he quickly succumbs to the many charms of his exotic new homeland. Manhood brings him an affectionate nickname - Red Barbarian - and the devotion of two very different Chinese women: Ah Sam, an enchanting prostitute who teaches him love's sweetest secrets, and the gentle Ling Ling, whom he makes his bride. The gods are smiling on him. But there is a darker side to Charlie Tyson - for he has become an opium smuggler. And as the deadly trade drives Britain and China to the threshold of war, he faces a nightmare conflict of loyalties that threatens to destroy his enchanted world...
