KwayFay lives alone in a shack, and commutes to her job everyday. She survives by paying bribes, and keeping silent when abused. Her only ally is Grandmother's Ghost.

| Synopsis: |
KwayFay lives alone in a squatter shack on the mountain slopes of Hong Kong, and commutes each day to her job as a lowly office clerk. She survives by paying bribes, if she has to, and keeping silent when abused. Her only ally is Grandmother's Ghost. On the brink of the Hand Over with China, the Hongs and Triads - underworld organisations above the law - are concerned, since China's policy is to eliminate criminal cliques. When the head of a Triad learns of the impoverished 'no-family' girl who talks to ghosts, he wonders if she is a way out of his dilemma... |
