Plots(1)
For rubber baron Walter Blackett and his family, life in 1941 Singapore is one of wealth and privilege, the horrors of war-torn Europe a distant whisper. Blackett’s plans to consolidate his power are thrown into flux when his business partner, Mr Webb, is incapacitated, and his stake in the company could pass to his idealistic son, Matthew. With the issue of his own legacy to consider, Walter and his daughter Joan must do everything they can to remove the threat Matthew poses. But Matthew is drawn to a mysterious Chinese dissident, Vera Chiang, while Joan launches a campaign of seduction. With the chaos of war taking root across the continent, forbidden love blossoms and the era of colonial privilege teeters on the brink. (Viasat)
