In 1921, in search of a new start and the American Dream, Ewa Cybulska and her sister Magda sail to New York from their native Poland. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while her sister is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, she quickly falls prey to Bruno, a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. One day, Ewa encounters Brunos cousin, debonair magician Orlando. He sweeps Ewa off her feet and quickly becomes her only chance to escape the nightmare in which she exists.
In 1921, Ewa Cybulska and her sister Magda arrive at Ellis Island from Poland, full of guarded optimism. But things go wrong immediately: doctors quarantine Magda, and Ewa discovers that she has been branded a "woman of low moral standing" during passage. Scheduled for a deportation hearing, she is rescued by enigmatic, hot-tempered Bruno Weiss, who seems to have questionable connections with the immigration authorities. Bruno can secure Magdas release, and Ewa is so desperate to earn the money to do so that she reluctantly assents to join Brunos stable of prostitutes...even as Bruno seems to be falling for her. Things are complicated further when Brunos cousin Emil, aka "Orlando the Magician," meets Ewa and is instantly smitten. But with the suffering Ewa at the center, this is no ordinary love triangle.
