Nanking Abyss

In 1935 Nanking, as Chiang Kai-shek’s regime reels from assassination conspiracies, the reckless son of a security chief kills a woman in a hit-and-run. The family scapegoats a humble rickshaw puller, unaware that his silent fury conceals a blood tie to a past assassin—and that his thirst for revenge will devour them all. Inspired by Truman Capote’s unflinching gaze, this is a story where vengeance becomes a self-immolating ecstasy, and the abyss stares back.
