Mr Phillips has avoided conflict since returning from the war, but his quiet life ends when his closest friend is murdered and suspicion falls on him. With his own safety and freedom threatened, he asks Clara and Tommy to prove that the evidence against him is false.

The mahjong game played before the death provides only fragments of the answer. To clear Phillips, the investigators must uncover the victim’s private life, reopen old wounds and distinguish the secrets of innocent people from the motive of the killer.
