In Hong Kong, a young woman haunted by visions of her future self meets a stranger who changes the course of her night -- and possibly her life.

The play was inspired by Giacomo Puccini 's opera Madama Butterfly . The first act introduces the main character, Rene Gallimard, who is a civil servant attached to the French embassy in China. He falls in love with a beautiful Chinese opera diva, Song Liling, who is actually a man masquerading as a woman. In traditional Beijing opera , females were banned from the stage; all female roles ( dan ) were played by males.

Act two begins with Song coming to France and resuming his affair with Gallimard. They stay together for 20 years until the truth is revealed, and Gallimard is convicted of treason and imprisoned. Unable to face the fact that his "perfect woman" is actually a man, that has been posing as a woman for 20 years to be able to spy, he retreats deep within himself and his memories. The action of the play is depicted as his disordered, distorted recollection of the events surrounding their affair.

The third act portrays Gallimard committing seppuku (also known as harakiri , ritual Japanese suicide through self-disembowelment) while Song watches and smokes a cigarette.

The trio investigates the mysterious murder of Sazz Pataki, Charles' stunt double, whose death raises questions about whether Sazz or Charles was the intended victim. The Arconia residents find themselves entangled in Hollywood drama as a studio adapts their podcast into a movie, leading to new faces and on-set chaos. As the action ramps up, the amateur sleuths return to New York, diving into the twisted lives of the Arconia's West Tower residents.
