    Ploi, a bold and beautiful woman, struggles to expand her casino empire in the patriarchal society of southern Siam. Her obsession with success endangers her marriage and her family. Political change, a deadly epidemic and conflict among Thais, Chinese and Malays roil the region. Ploi needs the help of a violence-prone lover, a Buddhist monk, and a royal official hiding his own secret. Struggling to free herself of karma darkened by misdeeds, Ploi is unaware she is the target of a man obsessed with revenge and backed by a powerful secret society. She must make terrible choices as the plot against her mounts to a violent conclusion.
