Plot summary
In 1941, Hong Kong stands as the British Empire's Eastern Fortress. Japanese forces attack, and three stories unfold as the city collapses. Two Chinese sisters, Yu Siu Fong and Yu Mei Fong, are drawn into a failed spy operation. One sister works as a courtesan; the other works at the British military headquarters called the Battlebox. On the Gin Drinkers Line, a band of Rajput soldiers is trapped in a Japanese ambush, and an act of bravery is needed to save the others. Major-General Maltby and his top officers face an unnerving fog-of-war as they debate whether to keep fighting or accept a humiliating surrender of the colony.
