Jerry is a retired Taiwanese immigrant living in Orlando. He gets an urgent call from the Chinese police, informing him that he’s the prime suspect in an international money laundering investigation where $1.28 million was illegally moved through his bank account.

Under threat of arrest and extradition, Jerry cooperates with the Chinese police force and acts as as an undercover agent in their case. He takes surveillance photos of his bank, makes top secret transfers, and even wears a wire to spy on bank tellers. After months of keeping the investigation a secret, Jerry finally reveals everything to his family in this documentary made by his sons.
