Michelle Lee (aka Michelle Reis) plays a mysterious stranger who rents a room in a peaceful fishing community on Lantau Island. Finding temporary solace in the daily rhythms and struggles of this tight-knit community, she eventually forms friendships and a growing romance. But, as glimpsed in seemingly disconnected flashbacks, the weight of the past presses unbearably. The audience learns of her career as an assassin, but it is not until she leaves Lantau Island that the full truth is exposed. Shifting back and forth with increasing rapidity between recent memory and the present, the assassin reveals how she has been first abused, then used, then betrayed. Sentenced to death by her former employers, she is on the run.
