Incident at the Citrus Heights

A neon sign – The Citrus Heights Tavern and Motel – winking against the night-time sky of downtown Tokyo in the summer of 1949. A jeep full of US Military Police bursts in the motel’s seedy twinkle. Weapons are drawn. Men freeze under the barrels on the motel’s irons stairways and landings. Yakuza punks. A bullhorn blares, summoning two more thugs from a third floor motel, with arms raised. The MPs open fire, killing eight men, including an army Colonel and his American driver.

The massacre heralds a surge of violence unparalleled during The Occupation and leads one counter-intelligence unit through the underbelly of Tokyo, into the world of the yakuza, the black market and drugs. They are on a hunt for a cadre of Japanese Communist terrorists – former prisoners of war – who have been infiltrated into Tokyo to wage a campaign of indiscriminate terror and assassination designed to unhinge the still fragile Japanese democracy and plunge the country into chaos.
