A drifting man arrives in a rough river town, where a web of uneasy allies, sly deals, and personal betrayals pull him into a dangerous game.

In a sparsely civilized frontier, Ming moves from one crowded room to another, navigating a tangle of hotels, boarders, and ambitious developers. The book follows his uneasy ascent through a web of local power, priced rooms, and shifting loyalties as he tries to balance business deals with a life that grows more complicated by the day.

- Watch sharp, brisk dialogue and a tone that mixes humor with danger.
- See how ambition, money, and personal ties collide in a town where every deal comes with risk.
