In a world where only the abuser and the abused exist, suffering and torture are the only outcomes amid the silent cries. 10 year-old Minnie, kidnapped six years ago, is not the only victim. The kidnapper Ha abducts little girls for their youth and immaculate skin in order to create his “masterpiece”. After six years, spared her life, Minnie is all obedience to Ha, even wishing to be part of the sadistic killer’s tour de force. Unfortunately, she is not the perfect collection for him. To Minnie, Ha has become her lifeline, shelter and everything. When the line between the perpetrator and victim blurs, who takes ownership and control over the destiny of the other?

While his two friends have already mapped their respective futures, Poon simply wants to get a good score in his second attempt at the HKCEE and stay in his own school. However, Poon gets another disappointing score, and his future is suddenly up in the air. Every year, some celebrate the fruits of their labor, while others dash around the city for their last hope at higher education. Poon may just be one of the latter, but he is also one of us, struggling to rise from academic mediocrity for a better life.
