À la suite du décès de sa mère, la jeune Lin Hsiao-yang doit s'occuper de son frère et de sa sœur, tout en travaillant comme serveuse et en suivant des cours du soir. Une bande dessinée, dont l'héroïne est « la fille du Nil », lui permet de s'évader de son quotidien.

Choong's title is secret agent, but in reality, his duties are limited to ferrying and running errands for Hong Kong agents when they come to Taiwan - hardly the stuff of "Mission Impossible". Until one day, when an assignment to help two Hong Kong police officers find a missing girl turns into a wild goose chase for $30 million of loot involving Hong Kong top assassins and Taiwan's most powerful triads.

A young woman is forced to marry an older man who runs a roadhouse saloon. She is constantly being raped by her husband, a drunken loutish brute. She harbors a young man wanted by the police in a murder case, and soon the fugitive and the young wife have a torrid affair as she continues to hide him from the authorities.
