A lonely pimp named Loong (Fandy FAN) tries to play it cool as he scrambles up into the upper echelons of society, even going as far as to exploit his half-sister Chin-sha (WEN Chen-ling), but his facade cracks in the presence of a well-to-do gallery director named Nai-wen (Christina MOK). Acting as a driver for her, Loong’s ardor grows, however, her own private life is a mess in ways that Loong cannot guess. The more their relationship deepens, the more they allay their weaknesses with sex but this proves to be a distraction as these two people find themselves bound by class and the people around them.

In a bitter love story of unrestrained physical desire and unrequited emotional needs, a food chain of love and loneliness is depicted as unhappy people living off each other in a cycle of getting money or pleasure. In her role as a wild and desperate woman, WEN Chen-ling won the 2021 Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress.
