Film description

Twenty-three-year-old Tuck Chai is dating Ying, a schoolgirl who isn’t yet 16. They probably met in an internet chatroom. Their parents know nothing about the illicit relationship, until Ying’s mother and father find birth-control pills in her room. That’s when their worlds start to shatter. Ying’s parents want to report Tuck Chai to the police (he will be charged with statutory rape for having sex with a minor), but his mother pleads with them to settle out of court for a cash compensation instead. After receiving the money, Ying’s selfish parents decide that they want to go to the police regardless. Ying tricks her parents and goes to a fateful meeting with Tuck Chai. The tensions between Tuck Chai and his mother become explosive. Before long, several lives are ruined and the police are involved after all...
