Adam and Lily is set in Hong Kong during the 60s and 70s and follows the life of the main character Adam Kelly. Working as an ASIO officer, Adam uncovers a mole in the Special Branch by the name of James Yuan. When confronted, Yuan offers a deal where he will name other members of the police force who are corrupt; this has the power to rip the department apart. For the moment, Special Branch decided Yuan should be deported to China to keep his mouth shut, because to destabilize the police would be catastrophic for everyone.
