  Hong City is enduring several years of economic recession and citizens are struggling to live. GAO (GUO Xiaodong), the business magnate of the city, has corrupted the government officials, monopolized the whole industrial business and treated the labors harshly. Students have deployed to protest against the situation. At one point, it follows with relentless suicidal incidents of labors jumping off buildings. Their clothing is blood stained with words of accusing GAO’s cruelty. SONG starts to suspect the suicides as he has witnessed one of the suicidal actions. When SONG is digging into the cases, university professor HUO tells SONG that FU had published a set of ciphers as a game in his newspaper half year ago and the subject of ciphers is related to these bizarre suicidal incidents.

  SONG is gradually unveiling the plot of riddles, and yet, the truth is inevitably covered up by more red herrings, peculiar murders and gun battles...If FU is ruled out as the suspect, who is the culprit behind the serial killings?

[ HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
  A teenage prostitute is murdered; her body cut up and flushed down the toilet, and her severed head thrown into Victoria Harbor. Director Philip Yung chooses to focus not on the crime or the investigation, but on the dead girl and her family, the cop and his family, and the killer who is without a family. The result is a genre-bender that progresses as it digresses, an atmospheric mosaic of human lives and actions that invariably get complicated, out of order and beyond reason, and with the characters firmly grounded in gritty and unforgiving reality.

[ THE FILM CATALOGUE ]
  Jiamei Wang has moved to Hong Kong from Dongguan, China two years ago. Desperate to become financially independent from her mother and step-father, she ends up becoming a “compensated date”. Chi-chung Ting, a truck driver who had just been brutally dumped, finds Jiamei online. They communicate with each other via text message and become friends right away. They share their background stories, and talk about everything from love to hate, from life to death.

  On the day of the murder, Jiamei and Chi-chung finally meet in person. In the room, they play, indulge in ketamine and really enjoy themselves. Finally, they go to the bed. During sex, Jiamei tells Chi-chung she wants to die. Chi-chung squeezes her neck until she passes away.

  Ching Sir, in charge of investigating the case, is a quirky police officer. When he investigates a case, he often ignores the details of the case itself but rather researches extensively on the personality of the people involved. Although he already has enough evidence to charge Chi-chung Ting, he wants to get to know Ting and Jiamei Wang better. He wants to look at our times with his heart. What exactly happened? He wishes to find out the real reason behind the incident, to prove that human nature is not evil, to shine a light onto the darkness.
