回家，比想像中還難。

Consumed by guilt, Feng avoids going home and resumes her old profession in a brothel, secretly sending money home to redeem herself. She resigns herself to this life for fifteen years. Meanwhile, her younger brother Ming, now a police officer, searches for Feng in Taipei. Expecting to find a successful singer, Ming instead finds her sister as a prostitute who refuses to acknowledge him. The inner turmoil of both siblings takes a turn when another underage girl is sold to the brothel…
