Nanjing, springtime. Wang Ping’s wife suspects him of adultery. She hires Luo Haitao to spy on him and discovers that her husband’s lover is a man, Jiang Cheng. It’s with this man that Luo Haitao and his girlfriend, Li Jing, form a torrid love triangle. For all three, it’s the beginning of asphyxiating, sultry nights of physical abandon that exalt the senses. A sulfurous journey into the confines of jealousy and obsessive love.
