    A young man named Xiao-kang lives with his silent parents in Taiwan and suffers from severe neck pain. His father deals with flooding in their apartment from constant rain. Xiao-kang's mother seems to make inappropriate advances toward her son. Desperate to help Xiao-kang, the family tries various medical treatments and healers to no avail. There are questions about whether the family's strained dynamics are connected to Xiao-kang's pain, and if a body found floating in a river is truly dead.
