In war, you can pretend to be someone you're not. Yet, in war, people find out who you really are.
Hong Kong, 1941. Civil servant Dominic Sotherly's colonial sojourn becomes complicated by his double life in both war and love. Enigmatic Englishwoman Gwen Harmison possesses secrets of her own.
From real history, meet the Chinese admiral who led Hong Kong's daring 'Great Escape'. And, uniquely during the occupation, discover how one Englishwoman made history in her defiance of Imperial Japan.
