In the outskirts and back-alleys of Kuala Lumpur, several individuals with money problems struggle to get their lives straight - all finding their paths unexpectedly intersecting - with fatal results.

Nam Ron´s third feature is the latest representative of an exciting new wave of Malaysian cinema. The thriller is structured around a rookie cop whose moral compass is tested by the systemic corruption that surrounds him: his senior partner is collecting bribes from illegal immigrants to fulfill his wife´s middle-class aspirations.

It also includes a humane portrayal of migrant workers, with Indonesia´s Ario Bayu (Buffalo Boys) and the Philippines´ Timothy Castillo (Neomanila) playing illegal immigrants pushed to the edge.
