Tokyo Vice - What We Know So Far

"Tokyo Vice" will be recounting Adelstein's experiences as a journalist at the Tokyo newspaper "Yomiuri Shimbun," for which he covered organized crime for 12 years. Adelstein was also the first foreigner to work there reporting on crime. Created and written by Tony Award-winning playwright J.T. Rogers, the team behind "Tokyo Vice" is basing the story on Adelstein's nonfiction book about his experiences. The show follows the reporter as he becomes involved with the Tokyo vice squad in order to get more direct information about the organized crime syndicates at play. 

But like with any crime drama, not everyone is who they say they are, and there are plenty of secrets for Adelstein to unearth. While organized crime is the reporter's focus, his burgeoning relationship with the vice squad allows him to also root out any corruption within the police force, though it's not an easy job. Over time, Adelstein finds a few key allies, as the people who really hold the power in Tokyo slowly reveal themselves.
