What do an English editor, banker, inebriate philosopher, and a coke-sniffing, spliff-smoking Australian have in common?
They are all expats in Hong Kong.
1st July 2007, a decade since the ‘handover’, and China’s presence all-pervasive. How do these remnants of Hong Kong’s colonial past fit into the picture? When Joe abruptly abandons his wife, kids and penthouse apartment on The Peak, he never imagines that his social-climbing wife would commit the ultimate betrayal. On his return a few months after his desertion, sparks fly and home truths come out, a child is lost, trust is gained and a perhaps new kind of love emerges.
