Career and wealth, or democracy?
Young Australian ex-pat Jacob Watson is on the fast track.
Two years after arriving in Hong Kong the young man is already managing a large property portfolio for one of the city’s biggest tycoons, networking with captains of industry, and living a life he could never have dreamed of back home.
But then life in Hong Kong changes.
Millions of people take to the streets to protest increasing interference from China, turning Jacob’s world upside down.
What should he do? Ignore everything happening around him to focus on his career and building his fortune? Or join the increasingly violent fight for democracy in the city he now calls home?
