Manchuria, 1908. A courtesan is found frozen in a doorway. Bao, a detective with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Meanwhile, when a disruptively winsome servant named Snow enters the family of a famous Chinese medicine shop household, the family's luck seems to change. Snow is a creature of many secrets, but most of all, she's a mother seeking vengeance for her lost child. Navigating the myths and misconceptions of fox spirits, both Snow and Bao will touch on old friends and new foes, even as more deaths occur.
