A radioactive plant threatens to turn a small town upside down - but a group of students take a stand. In the midst of the plant's construction, a teacher leads her students to battle against the building.

When a rare earth plant is being built near a coastal town, its inhabitants fall into despair, fearful of its radioactive effects. Ming, a high school student, is indifferent towards the changes. All he cares about is spending idyllic afternoons with the childhood friend he secretly loves, Mei Ann. Meanwhile. Ming's history teacher, Ms. Lim, has started an activist group to protest against the construction. She recruits her favourite student, Hui Ling, to join her. Their idealism is severely tested. As the construction goes on, they are all drawn into a chain of events that changes their lives irrevocably.
