In this erotic noir-thriller Sandra is an ex-prostitute who is forced to flee London after an encounter with a debt ridden ex-lover ends in violence. She flees to Hong Kong and finds a couple who promises to help her obtain papers and money to make a fresh start but nothing turns out as expected in this sordid game of manipulation.
