Two men. Two nations. One impossible love.
In 1960s Southeast Asia, as Singapore struggles for survival and Malaysia fights to define its identity, history remembers Lee Kuan Yew and Tunku Abdul Rahman as political adversaries and uneasy partners. But behind the closed doors of Istana halls and midnight negotiations lies a secret story: a relationship of fleeting touches, stolen glances, and dreams too dangerous to be name.
Bound together by ambition yet divided by duty, their bond grows as Singapore pushes for merger and Malaysia strains under the weight of race, politics, and fear. What begins as quiet longing transforms into a fragile intimacy: one that collides violently with the demands of leadership, the expectations of nations, and the unrelenting march of history.
When the promise of unity withers into bitter separation, Lee must face not only the anguish of losing a country, but also the heartbreak of losing the only man he dared to love.
