<P>A vibrant city of many colours still has many shadows. A young black professional, André Reed, has a series of chance encounters with the ethereally beautiful Catherine Lee. <P>André reaches out of his hard-driving, workaholic lifestyle to a woman radically different from himself yet somehow similar and just as strong. <P>Catherine, André learns, is food for his soul - she nurtures him, laughs with him, completes him. <P>But even in a city filled with many different kinds of people, the same old notions about race prevail.<P>Entwined in a knot of bigotry, Andre and Catherine must struggle for their sanity, and for each other. While André wrestles with a haunting and secret past, Catherine navigates the conflict between new-world love and old-world Chinese tradition. <P>When a violent crime committed by an Asian triad occurs, members in Catherine´s neighbourhood - and the entire city - cry out for justice. And Catherine might just lose André - and her family - for good.
