In 1943 Qingzhou, teahouse owner Su Wan secretly works as a communist spy. When encrypted intelligence vital to the war effort falls into her hands, she must evade relentless pursuit by Japanese forces while outmaneuvering her ex-husband - the collaborationist police chief. Beneath flowing qipaos and steaming tea leaves, she has 72 hours to transmit the message using a nearly-lost embroidery technique. But the transmitter in her attic holds a shocking secret: it's coded with the final cipher left by her first love, martyred two years prior.
