After digging a fortune from the frozen fields of the Klondike, August Wolff heads south to the &ldquo;Golden City&rdquo; of San Francisco, hoping to put the unsolved disappearance of his wife and daughter behind him. The turn of the twentieth century brings him even more success, but the distractions of a place some call the new Sodom and Gomorrah can&rsquo;t fill the gaping hole in his life.<br />

Amelia Starling is a wildly talented artist caught in the straightjacket of Old New York society. Making a heart-breaking decision, she moves to San Francisco to further her career, all the while living with the pain of a sacrifice no woman should ever have to make.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Through the art world, Gus and Lia connect as two damaged yet resilient souls. But the past, shrouded in mystery, prevents the two of them from finding a way forward. Unwilling to lead what she considers an immoral lifestyle, Lia leaves San Francisco and vows to begin again in Europe.&nbsp;<br />
