Description
The year is 1941. China is under a tripartite division of power between Wang Jingwei’s Nationalist Government in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Government in Chongqing, and Mao Zedong’s base in the area bordering the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. All three operate independently from one another in a precarious quest for power. In Hangzhou, which is under Japanese rule, the puppet regime’s intelligence unit detects a communist spy codenamed “Old Chap” among their ranks. So they create fake intelligence to lure the spy out. One night, four people from the intelligence unit are taken secretly to a villa named “Qiu Zhuang”. One of them is “Old Chap”. Over a period of four days a mental tug-of-war is played out, with all four having to contend with doubt and anxiety.
Among the web of intertwined clues, there are cryptic codes to be broken and life-and-death choices to make. Who will come out as the final winner in this contest of willpower and cunning?
