When 27-year-old Joan Bergstrom sends a fan letter - as well as a gift of saffron - to 59-year-old Imogen Fortier, a life-changing friendship begins. Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle, writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine, and while she can hunt elk and dig for clams, she's never tasted fresh garlic - exotic fare in the Northwest US of the 1960s.

In 1966, John Kim Faye was born out of wedlock to a 40-year-old Korean mother and a 62-year-old Irish father. Faye grew up in the state of Delaware, where laws forbidding interracial marriage were still on the books until 1967. As the lead singer and primary songwriter of the Caulfields, Faye was one of the only mixed-race Asian American frontman to sign a major record contract in the alternative rock heyday of the 1990s. In an era that preceded K-Pop—and even the rise of the internet—Faye’s personal journey did not lead to superstardom.

Irene Blum, 29 år og ekspert i khmerernes historie, forlader i vrede sit job på Brooke Museum i Seattle, da hun bliver forbigået ved ansættelse af museets nye direktør til fordel for en mandlig kollega. Hun rejser til Shanghai for at opsøge Simone Merlin, der ligeledes er ekspert i Cambodjas historie og kultur; sammen skal de finde nogle sagnomspundne skriftruller med historiske optegnelser om khmerriget, og dette fund skal bringe Irene tilbage "i kampen" for anseelse i museumsverden og hævn over Brooke Museum. Det er imidlertid ikke så let blot at drage ud i junglen og bringe et nationalklenodie med sig hjem.
