This is a story about how family can impact the growth of a young woman. It follows Elaine, who grew up in poverty in the 1980’s, and her best friend Ying as they enter the Hong Kong entertainment industry to change their fate.

When Hong Kong cinema’s glory fades a decade later, the two women end up on diverging paths due to their life choices.
