In the aftermath of a social movement comes an epidemic. A gay man reflects on trauma, mortality, and the collapse of civilization through sexual intercourse with strangers. These sex partners come from all walks of life. There is an English teacher, a Thai karaoke server, a Pakistani deliveryman, a Brazilian chef, a Taiwanese flight attendant, and a retired American banker. They all reside in different homes in this defective city of Hong Kong. In this queer time and place, they discuss love and loss, monogamy and promiscuity, riots and peace, oppression and choices, insanity and numbness, to stay or to leave. They have sex, hold or fail to hold conversations after sex, then they part. He wanders the streets and quietly observes until he encounters the next man. His reality becomes so absurd it might blend with nightmares and memories.
