The Singapore Grip

For rubber baron Walter Blackett and his family, 1941 Singapore is full of wealth and privilege, where the horrors of war-torn Europe are a distant whisper. But when their power and stability are rocked by new arrivals and the looming threat of a Japanese invasion, Walter has a cunning plan.

Matthew adjusts to life in Singapore and acquaints himself with his father's rubber trade, but is troubled when he discovers that dubious practices are taking place. After an evening of Singaporean entertainment with the Blacketts, Matthew, exhausted and fever-ridden, finds himself torn between two women, and America joins the war.

Matthew learns the true nature of life in Malaya as the Japanese tighten their grip on the continent.

Walter is given a surprising opportunity as Matthew determines to save Vera from the chaos taking root.

With time running out in Singapore, Walter struggles to face the grim reality and Matthew is on a mission to save the woman he loves.
