Ah-Ching and his friends have just finished school in their island fishing village, and now spend most of their time drinking and fighting. Three of them decide to go to the port city of Kaohsiung to look for work. They find an apartment through relatives, and Ah-Ching is attracted to the girlfriend of a neighbor. There they face the harsh realities of the big city.
Ah-Ching trades the salt-sprayed freedom of his fishing village for the suffocating concrete of Kaohsiung in a desperate bid for adulthood. His transition from aimless youth to urban laborer curdles into a restless struggle against loneliness and unrequited desire.
