Nothing is what it seems in this Casablanca-style international thriller set in the ancient Chinese city a week before the attack on Pearl Harbor. U.S. Secret Agent Paul Soames has just arrived to investigate the murder of his best friend, only to become quickly immersed in a web of conspiracy and lies that beset the city. Shadowed by Japanese intelligence officer Tanaka, Soames' investigation quickly centers on a charismatic local gangster, Anthony Lanting.

Originally produced as a motion picture in 2009.
