New York ! En ces tumultueuses années 1920, pour des milliers d'Européens, la ville est synonyme de "rêve américain". C'est le cas pour Cetta Luminata, une Italienne qui, du haut de son jeune âge, compte bien se tailler une place au soleil avec Christmas, son fils. Dans une cité en plein essor où la radio débute à peine et le cinéma se met à parler, Christmas grandit entre gangs adverses, violence et pauvreté, avec ses rêves et sa gouaille comme planche de salut.

The ancient Vietnamese life in which Tung was raised is being torn apart. It is not enough to work hard and grow rice anymore. Now every farmer in Mai Dong has to pick a side: the French or the communists. Intelligence, humility and graft made Tung's father Que an honorable figure in Mai Dong. His values ensured the family's survival through famine and flood. They will not protect him against the communists, who need class-enemy victims for their land reform campaign.

This is the cocaine trade. This is how it's done: with hard work and a good system. With coca made into cubes, dissolved in liquid, hidden in marble blocks or inside electric cable. With willing mules swallowing drugs in ovules (they'll be arrested - this is part of the system). With shipments measured in tons. With money in cash, always. And these are the risks: police dogs, scanners, customs, infiltrators - and if you do it right, it will make you rich. And if you don't, you'll spend your life in jail.
