On the outside, Taipei-based headhunter Lin Ch'en-hsi has a rising career and a caring partner. But a wound from the past still constantly haunts her.

While still processing the new reality, Ch'en-hsi unexpectedly runs into a cop who looks just like her ex-boyfriend from her past life.

An old friend stirs up uneasy memories for Ch'en-hsi, who is also under growing suspicion to be involved in the death of her high school teacher.

A visit to a rehab brings up more shards of memories for Ch'en-hsi, which leads her to trace down the widow of Hsieh Chih-chung.
