A young Burmese girl, Lien Ching (
Wu Ke-xi), smuggles herself in a truck heading for
Bangkok,
Thailand, aiming to pursue a better life, and eventually even go to
Taiwan for better opportunities. In Bangkok she meets A-kuo (
Kai Ko), a boy from the same Burmese hometown
Lashio, who was less ambitious but pragmatic and had a crush on her. Lacking proper identification, Liang struggles to find legitimate work and gets arrested as an illegal immigrant by the Thai authorities. She is fined and has to rely on A-kuo's help. Lien Ching becomes desperate to obtain legal paperwork, even if it is fraudulent. After several failed attempts on the papers and losing money, she finally accepts a solution offered by a drug dealer who requires a huge sum of money. In order to collect the amount, Lien Ching prostitutes herself. This act enrages A-kuo, who has been supporting her. Lien Ching makes enough money to gain passage into Taiwan, while A-kuo remains left behind. One night shortly before her planned departure, A-kuo jealously murders Lien Ching, and then himself. ==Cast==
