The story tracks the unhealthy and abusive relationship between an unnamed man and his wife in the days following his return to north eastern Tangshan. He's coming back to her as a wanted fugitive for a series of rapes and murders.

Novelist Tang Di's directorial debut engages nudity, masturbation and sadomasochism with fearless chutzpah. Using unconventional split-screen and grungy hand-held camera visuals, Tang deliberately uses intimate and disorientating close-ups to heighten the senses - appropriate for a film about a sexual addict husband who returns as a fugitive from Manchuria after committing murder, and his wife who willingly engages in violent consensual S&M with him.—HKIFF
