the story
As part of an under-cover research project into the sex industry, graduate student Lin Fan sets herself working at a local gentleman's bar. But the thin line Lin rides between this new moonlight profession and her ‘normal’ life are blurred in the red haze of an underground that plays by its own rules.
With a relationship that mixes illusion with reality and an underground culture that flaunts its extremes, Fan is thrust into a zone she didn’t know existed where she feels a stranger even in her own body.
