A young girl, played by actress Tang Wei, is assigned to seduce a high-ranking intelligence officer, working for the Japanese-controlled puppet government, before leading him into an assassination trap. She later realizes she is in love with the officer, played by Hong Kong actor Tony Leung. The unexpected love affair generates more turmoil.

James Schamus from investor group Focus Features, remarks that the story is "very Asia", and he is confident that Ang Lee can make it a worldwide success.
