TOKYO HUSTLE
It’s 2010 and the Japanese economy reels from the Great Recession. Unemployed Tokyo American Bill Smaha lands a job at Spotronics Japan, the local office of a U.S. microchip manufacturer, and is thrown into a baffling white-collar life: married colleagues use secret bank accounts to fund their nightlives, managers create projects out of boredom and execs are on the take. Hard-core salaryman Hiro Osaka takes Bill under his wing and soon both are assigned to a shady subsidiary company. As signs of corporate misdeeds emerge, Bill faces an identity crisis: is he a loyal salaryman, or an American whistleblower?
