What Fake is

Manhattan precinct. Winter. Sirens. NYPD detectives Dee and Ryo, partners in crime-solving and maybe something more, find their feelings tested when a trip to England turns into a baffling murder investigation. A tidy, if tonally-scattered, mid-90s anime curio for fans of procedural slash fiction.
