Legacy Codes, The

Synopsis:
Inspired by the stunning saga of nuclear physicist Wen Ho Lee, this fascinating new Drama is as hot as today's headlines. Underscored by a brilliant fusion of Chinese, jazz, and hip-hop music, it weaves our era's mystifying codes of law, culture, computers, and romance into a masterful family Drama, the tantalizing tale of a Taiwanese-born scientist accused of compromising America's national security.
