Synopsis
Kai (Jack Yao) sits in a bookstore every night studying French books in hopes of visiting his girlfriend in Paris. Instead, he catches the attention of shop worker Susie (Amber Kuo). One night, gangster Brother Bao (Frankie Gao), a frequent customer of Kai's family-run noodle shop, offers Kai the money to go to Paris under the condition that Kai transports some "cargo" for him. The night before he leaves, Kai runs into Susie at the night market just as the police - led by Yong (Joseph Chang, Prince of Tears) - and various shady characters all go after Kai for his mysterious cargo. This sends Kai and Susie off on an exciting adventure through the streets of Taipei in a night they'll never forget.
