It is 1960s Singapore and a time of turbulence: political argument in Malaya, invasion threats from Indonesia, and the Cold War is spreading through Southeast Asia. Sarah is a clever young officer sent to monitor the radio waves and provide military intelligence for the British. Pearl is the young Chinese woman teaching tai chi classes. Caught between them is Harry, the planter's son turned investigative journalist.
