About 'Tokyo Time'
In 1942, during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore, two seasoned homicide detectives- one a Eurasian, caught between two worlds, and the other, a pacifist Japanese escaping dark and tragic secrets at home—are thrown together to solve a high-profile murder and come to terms with each other under the yoke of a brutal and corrupt military regime.
