Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A mechanic plagued by bad luck attempts to break the curse that binds him by entering into a desperate murder pact in this tense thriller in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train. Informed by fortune teller Blind Liu (Liu Yi Wei) that he has been hexed, down-on-his-luck mechanic Chen Chuan (Francis Ng) is determined to turn his life around. Soon, Chen becomes convinced that it is his wife's infidelity that has cast a dark shadow over his live, and determines to kill her in hopes of breaking the jinx. When Chen meets Jia (Cherrie Ying) in a car accident and their pair realizes that they seem to share the same bad luck, they make a pact that each will do away with the source of the other's malaise once and for all.
