Laurie Michaels, a 26-year-old journalist, has left her home, her job, and her husband for a new beginning in Asia.

At first, Laurie embraces the company?s boom. But, as the stakes grow higher she confronts the role that women play in a male dominated business world and questions her ethics, loyalty and identity.
