BRIEF SYNOPSIS:
The Interpreter is about an unexpected love found between Hiromi, a young Japanese college girl looking for (foreign) love online and Kaito, a Japanese American exchange student working as an interpreter in Tokyo. Jacob, an American tourist in Tokyo, hires Kaito to be his interpreter during his first date with Hiromi, the girl Jacob met online. The more he sees Hiromi, the more Kaito falls for her. And the more he gets to know Jacob, the more Kaito wants to protect Hiromi from him. Until one night, a seemingly innocent night-out turns into a dark and unfortunate event for Kaito, Hiromi, and Jacob.

CHARACTER BIOS:
[JACOB] [MALE; WHITE AMERICAN] [AGE: 25-35]
Jacob travels to Japan with one goal in mind: to meet Japanese girls. He seems to be an easygoing guy who loves to have fun. Little did we know that Jacob is hiding a deep dark secret that nobody knew until Kaito and Hiromi come into the picture.
