As tanks roll through Beijing and soldiers hammer on his hotel door, Joe--a young American photojournalist--captures a piece of history. New York, 2012.

When a cryptic message is left in a Beijing newspaper, Joe is driven to discover the truth behind the unknown hero he captured on film. Who was he?
