Plot

In the sleek, high-powered world of a Japanese corporation nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, the discovery of a professional mistress's lifeless body during a bustling party sends shockwaves through the community. The cause of her death? An apparent encounter with rough sex. Rising Sun intricately weaves the tale of police detective Web Smith, summoned to untangle this complex web of intrigue and deceit. However, before Smith can lay his investigative prowess on the case, he receives a mysterious call instructing him to rendezvous with John Connor. Connor, a seasoned former police captain with an uncanny expertise in Japanese affairs, becomes an unexpected ally in this enigmatic investigation. Upon their arrival at the crime scene, Smith's initial assessment suggests a clear-cut case. Yet, Connor, with his deep knowledge of the Japanese underworld, cautions him otherwise, hinting at hidden depths and unseen complexities. As the duo delve deeper, they find themselves acting as unlikely mediators between the Japanese company's aloof executives and the tenacious investigating officer Tom Graham. 'Rising Sun' is a riveting journey into the heart of an international mystery, where nothing is as it appears. It's a gripping tale that explores the collision of cultures, corporate politics, and the dangerous underbelly of seemingly impeccable society, all under the shadow of a rising sun.
