Toulon, July 21, 1969: while Neil Amstrong and Edwin Aldrin prepare to take their first steps on the Moon, far below on Earth two sailors descend into a private area of the city. Keeping with tradition, the older mariner promises to show his junior the world, treating him to a beer and the services of a prostitute. Which of the girls at the Miami Bar will he choose? Why is First Mate Lipziwski willing to risk his life to prevent this ritual from taking place? What secret is the Madame Lin Ho hiding?
