Loosely inspired by Jake Adelstein's non-fiction first-hand account, the crime drama series Tokyo Vice follows the young American journalist’s rapid descent into Tokyo's neon-soaked underbelly in the late '90s. Hired as prestigious newspaper Meicho Shimbun's first American crime reporter, Adelstein soon finds himself covering seemingly unrelated cases -- but quickly grows suspicious that more nefarious forces are at play.
