Synopsis
Willis Wu, a supporting actor in the procedural crime series Black and White
Relegated to the background, Willis continues the activities of his on-screen job, waiting tables and daydreaming about the world beyond Chinatown. When he inadvertently witnesses a crime, Willis begins to unravel the criminal web in Chinatown and, in the process, discovers what it’s all about…
