HONG KONG BLUE: Mike Marlowe is a UK photographer who - after traumatic frontline news work in Ukraine in 2014 - decides to seek a less serious life by joining the London paparazzi. In 2019 a 'working holiday' in Asia leads him to Hong Kong, just as that city state comes under increasing pressure from the Chinese government, pressure that provokes huge pro-democracy demonstrations. Mike's interaction there, with the locals - including wannabe and free spirit Susan - puts both of them in the spotlight... and in danger.
