Synopsis

Joint Security Area

Two North Korean soldiers are killed in the border area between North and South Korea, prompting an investigation by a neutral body. The sergeant is the shooter, but the lead investigator, a Swiss-Korean woman, receives differing accounts from the two sides.

Tears to a Glass Eye

In 1992, semi-retired detective and author Martin Dye is hired to track down a missing duffel bag of cash tied to a fatal 1970s crash that left one friend dead and another in a wheelchair. As Martin follows the trail through old classmates, small-town gossip, and buried lies, he uncovers a dark legacy of drugs, betrayal, and shattered lives - and learns some secrets refuse to stay buried.
