Synopsis of "The Singapore Grip" Series (2020)
The series story focuses on a British family; The Blacketts, who control one of the leading trading companies in colonial-era Singapore. The son of Mr. Blackett's business partner Matthew Webb becomes involved in a love triangle with the daughter of Mr. Blackett and a mysterious Chinese woman. The events take place with the Japanese invasion and occupation of Singapore happening in the background.
A running joke in the story is Matthew Webb trying to find out what "The Singapore Grip" means, and getting different answers from different people he asked. (Source: Wikipedia)
