Joker Game

Shanghai, 1941. Rain slicked streets, a lone cigarette. Defying orders, a soldier faces death, then is offered a chance to join a covert intelligence unit. His mission: retrieve a diplomat's secret documents amid a nest of rival spies. A pulp espionage set-up, updated with early-aughts J-thriller style.
