STORY:
Anna, an immigrant from China, has been imprisoned after killing her
abusive husband in self-defense. Convicted at the age of 23, Anna has
been away from the outside world for 7 years.
Hoon, an attractive and charming Koren immigrant, has made his living
since arriving in the U.S. as an escort for middle-aged Korean women,
One those women, Ok-Ja, has recently become obsessed with Hoon and has
decided to leave her marriage to be with him.
When Anna's mother dies, she is granted a furlough from prison and
embarks on a trip to Seattle for the funeral. On the run from Ok-Ja's
angry husband, Hoon boards Anna's bus and approaches her to help pay
for his ticket. Anna gives Hoon the money and the two of them end up
sharing adjoining seats for their trip.
Upon arriving in Seattle, Anna feels like a stranger amongst her
family. Uncomfortable at home, she leaves and tries to reconnect with
her hometown. But it is all in vain. She contemplates going back to
prison early before the funeral. It is at the bus terminal that she
runs into Hoon again. Hoon sees Anna as an easy target and persuades
her to spend the day with him. Like a couple sightseeing, they explore
the city. Hoon's goofy personality helps Anna calm down, and Hoon find
himself attracted to the mysterious Anna, who is unlike any other
woman he has met.
Despite the escalating drama in Hoon's life and the sadness in Anna's
situation, the two strangers begin to connect in a deeper and more
meaningful way. Through this connection, they end up helping each
other escape the threats of the present and the mistakes of the past
and ultimately gain hope for the future.
