A dark, melancholic portrait of three marginalized young women whose desperation drives them toward exploitation and self-destruction in contemporary Hong Kong.

Three troubled young girls will do anything to escape their stifling lives - even if it means turning to drugs and prostitution. Set in the generation of smartphones and web 2.0, the technology may have made communication easier than ever, but cautionary tales of misunderstood youths remain as relevant as they were two decades ago.
