Bangkok, 1980. As the decades unfold, a diverse cast of characters enters and exits the relentless city, each driven by their own motivations. Pea and Nam, seeking a brighter future, arrive in search of a better life. Alongside them is Pinky, the daughter of a Thai Elvis impersonator, who navigates the complexities of her father's profession. Benz, Tintin, and Big, a brotherhood of orphaned stray boys, form an unlikely bond and rely on each other for survival. Rick, a white American patriarch, abandons his Thai family when faced with financial challenges, leaving behind a trail of heartache. Hasmah, a woman driven by secessionist rage, carries out a bloody and hidden work, fueled by her desire for independence. Amidst the chaos, Bangkok is plagued by sex tourism, Buddhist cults, gambling rings, and skin-whitening routines. The city, already reeling from financial crisis, teeters on the edge of chaos, as anything can happen in a nation constantly reinventing itself.
