| Overview: | See no evil, fear no evil. Nothing is more dangerous than the truth.
In a wealthy home in Beverly Hills, the evening unfolds much like any other. The young Chinese-American eye surgeon, Daniel Hong (Chin Han), is called away on an emergency. But not before his bored wife, Natalie (Vivian Wu, "The Joy Luck Club," "The Pillow Book"), and his blind mother, Mrs. Hong (Lisa Lu, "The Joy Luck Club," "The Last Emperor") exchange their usual bitter diatribes. Daniel feels helplessly caught between the woman he loves and the mother he honors.
But everything changes for this one sultry night when Patrick (Joe Lando, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"). Daniel best friend, escapes from prison. Convicted of killing his own parents, Patrick has spent ten years in prison waiting for this chance. He has been kept alive by the thought of this night, the night he gets to kill the real murderer of his parents, for Patrick is convinced that Daniel's father, his own Godfather, is the real killer!
In this gripping psychological drama of shifting alliances and startling revelations, old-world Chinese traditions clash with modern-day Los Angeles. Only to prove, when each of the principals confronts a dormant secret from the past, nothing is ever as it appears to be.
