Set in early 1950s Vietnam, a young American becomes entangled in a dangerous love triangle when he falls for the beautiful mistress of a British journalist. As war is waged around them, these three only sink deeper into a world of passion, drugs and deceit. Nothing, and no one, is as it seems, in this adaptation of Graham Greene’s classic and prophetic story of love, betrayal, murder and the origin of the US war in Vietnam.
