A harrowing, unflinching portrait of human trafficking and sexual slavery that offers no escape or redemption, grounded in brutal realism and systemic cruelty.

Young student Bai Xuemei is cheated and sold as a wife by human traffickers to a remote village. Raped and beaten, she leads the life of a sex slave and child-bearer with no hope of escape because of the villagers apathy and selfishness.
