Still in his twenties when CBS sends him to cover Asia, cynical American correspondent SAM finds more than just a fiercely intelligent and confident assistant in GRACE, a Singapore local. As they report on the truth of war, a mutual affection develops even as the city falls.
Embedded Files
GRACE
Chinese journalist
In 1942, spirited, independent Grace refuses the chance to escape, staying with her family and suffering the brutality of Japanese rule. By 1957, she is a radio journalist with her own political voice, on air and in life. When Sam returns, she meets him as an equal.
SAM
American journalist
After cutting his teeth on Midwest labour strikes, corruption trials and the Dust Bowl, Sam has a sharp eye for injustice. But the guilt of leaving Singapore draws him back fifteen years later, not only for the news. It's the relationship and the future he left unfinished.
