SAN FRANCISCO, USA 1900
At the dawning of a new century fate brings them together, a lifetime away from all they have ever known.
Set against a backdrop of the streets of Tokyo and within the high altitudes of Tibet, The Geisha and The Monk follows the parallel life stories of a Tokyo geisha and a Tibetan Buddhist monk, who although coming from very different backgrounds share a matching destiny, a destiny revealed on the shores of San Francisco's harbour front.
'Eventually, two souls destined to meet shall do so, their connection instantly recognised within the eyes of the other.'
