Synopsis

Raised in a rural area, Feng defies her grandmother's objections and runs away to Taipei to become a singer, only to be trafficked as a prostitute to Japan. Years later, upon returning to Taiwan, she discovers her elderly grandmother suffering from dementia. Consumed by guilt, Feng avoids going home and resumes her old profession in a brothel, secretly sending money home to redeem herself. She resigns herself to this life for 15 years. Meanwhile, her younger brother Ming, now a police officer, searches for Feng in Taipei. Expecting to find a successful singer, Ming instead finds her sister as a prostitute who refuses to acknowledge him. Things take a turn when another underage girl is sold to the brothel...
