An unlikely trio comprised of the Shoshone Indian Asie, a musical savant who has been accepted into the Church of Latter-day Saints; Sun Moon, a Tibetan nun kidnapped in Asia and forced into prostitution in America; and the renowned soldier, explorer, and translator Sir Richard Burton flees from the Utah Territory to California in 1862.
