Will Tiao is a Taiwanese-American actor and producer. Born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas, he worked in international politics before entering the Hollywood scene. Tiao was a cello performance major at the University of Michigan before transferring to Tufts University, where he received his B.A. in International Relations magna cum laude and a M.A. in International Affairs from Columbia University. He received a Fulbright Scholarship for his research on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Manila, Philippines. Tiao worked as a Presidential Management Fellow under the Clinton administration and went on to become an international economist under the George W. Bush administration. However, in 2002 he decided to leave politics to pursue a career in entertainment.
In the early 1980s, an FBI Agent is assigned to investigate the murder of a respected professor. Through his investigation, he unearths a spider web of international secrets that has been thriving within college campuses across America for decades. His investigation takes him across the Pacific to the island nation of Taiwan, where with the help of the outspoken widow and an unlikely spy, he learns that the Professor's killing was not a random act, but a desperate move by a scandalous government intent on keeping its nefarious activities under wraps. Our detective soon finds himself on a collision course against the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and the Nationalist Chinese Government - in a land where the truth is not what it seems and the only people he can trust, cannot be trusted at all. Inspired by actual events.
