    • Synopsis
    • An explosion takes place in an apartment late at night, with a charred body of a woman found on spot. Her name is Yin Ching. Though it seems to be an accident, there is a romance behind with mixed feelings spanning over a decade.

      A woman called Lam Yam looks surprisingly similar to the deceased Ching, except that her temperament and background is rather different. But they happened to fall in love with the same man Lou Lou. Ching and Lou were childhood friends, but Lou accidentally killed her mother over ten years ago. The mortal sin being unexposed, fate made them break apart.

      Over a decade later, Ching met Lou again in the city. Ching finds Lou's girlfriend Lam Yam has a striking resemblance to her. This is how Ching begins to plan a murder...

      After “Ching” was killed, Lou starts to notice something usual with "Yam", with a familiar but strange feeling. Who is she? A bizarre murder, bearing the weird fate of two people, is succeeded by the conflicts of human nature and final redemption.
