A darkly comedic drama about a young man who turns to sex work out of filial duty, navigating the moral and emotional turbulence that follows.

When his mom, the sole provider of his family with her poultry business, had to stop working due to her back problems, Fung decides to support his family financially. And from that moment, his life takes on a tumultuous change…
