Three Chinese students, who are about to graduate high school are filming a sensational video. They wander the land of Malaysia with rebellion and confusion. They seek validation and a future, yet they invalidate themselves. All three are torn between "leaving" and "staying," struggling in a pessimistic racial environment, searching for answers that have been unanswered for years in their "neither nor" Malaysian identity.
