In 1964, Singapore is an island on edge. Political dissidents set off bombs in the streets, while locals and foreigners uneasily coexist. Sam Callaghan (Don Hany, Underbelly) bridges these worlds. An Australian expat and former army officer, Sam spent his childhood in a Singaporean prison camp. When Patricia Cheng (Joan Chen, Lust, Caution; Twin Peaks) seeks his help to keep her detective agency afloat following her husband's murder, Sam quickly becomes the man to call to get a job done.Sam treads into tense situations with the street smarts born of a hard-fought past. Whether he's sharing intel with a young CIA agent (Michael Dorman, Wonderland) or trying not to get killed by the leader of the Red Dragon gang (Chin Han, The Dark Knight), Sam is used to taking risks-including his love affair with the beautiful but married Claire Simpson (Maeve Dermody, Black Water). HBO Asia's first original drama series, this high-quality production features absorbing mysteries set in the charged atmosphere of a country on the brink of change.
