The film has two parts. The first part is seen from the point of view of a character named Ah Jie, who returns to his hometown after several years, soon realizing that no one remembers him. Even his family denies his existence. Depressed, Ah Jie meets Lao Huang, who runs a small town restaurant. Lao Huang tells Ah Jie that he can help him discover the truth as to why no one recognizes him. However, Ah Jie is suddenly involved in an accidental murder. As the stranger in town, he is the prime suspect. He is ultimately sentenced to death in an absurd trial held by his childhood friends and family. The second part of the film is seen from the point of view of Lao Huang. After several years, Lao Huang meets Ah Jie, who is a stranger who has recently moved to the small town. Soon after Ah Jie arrives, a few old men are killed. The villagers suspect that the only outsider, Ah Jie, might be the killer. As suspicion surrounding Ah Jie intensifies, Ah Jie tells Lao Huang about a treasure lost during WWII which is hidden somewhere in this small town. Ah Jie asks Lao Huang to join him in the search. Lao Huang is critical at first, but after considering the mundane nature of his daily life, he decides to join Ah Jie’s adventure.
