A metaphysical mystery about the lives of three couples in Taipei that continually intersect over a span of several weeks.

The marriage of Yu-feng and Li-zhong has reached a stalemate. Yu-feng, a writer, faces a creative block, while Li-zhong pins hope on a promotion. A teenage girl‘s prank calls become the subject of Yu-feng‘s award-winning novel. As their lives unravel, frustration builds like a gas tank on the verge of explosion.
