The story

In December 1941, just before the entry of the United States into World War II, an American agent from the Naval Intelligence Office arrives in Shanghai to find his friend Conner was recently murdered. Determined to find out who killed Conner and why, he begins working at The Herald newspaper using the alias Paul Soames, a Nazi-sympathizer cover he used while stationed in Berlin. He meets Anthony Lan-Ting, an influential crime lord, and Captain Tanaka (Ken Watanabe) at the German embassy in Shanghai, during an invitation-only event.
