The movie begins with a young woman, who attended a wedding party held in a
hotel and became drunk, waking up in one of the hotel rooms; only to realize in
horror that her kidney has been surgically removed. Socialite Ching (Angelica
Lee), who also attended the party, identified Ling (Karena Lam) as the prime
suspect because she found out that Ling was the only stranger presented in the
ball room. She is unknown to everyone in the party, even to the hotel staff.
During the police investigation, Ching discovers that Ling has been secretly
involved with her boyfriend Wai (Andy Hui Chi-On), and this is the very reason
why she was in the hotel when the crime was committed. Ling was released
uncharged due to insufficient evidence as police believed Ching could be framing
her for cheating with her boyfriend. Rather than quickly disappear, Ling starts
stalking Ching, apparently jealous that Ching could have everything Ling wanted
without an effort while Ling has to fight for it. Ching, at the beginning, sees
that as a form of harassment, but soon twists it around and follows Ling
instead. Ling seems accepting of this, showing her the darker side of life
living as a poor girl compared to Ching's rich-girl background. The two engage
in a subtle cat-and-mouse game, and Ching begins to fear for her life when Ling
starts making threats to remove her kidney too.
One night, Ching is kidnapped by a mysterious man that seems to be an ally of
Ling's. Here, Ching reveals that her kidney is weak, and the man will not be
able to sell it for much. She passes out, and wakes to find Ling injured beside
her. Ching takes her to the hospital, and it isn't long before Ching finds out
that Ling is actually a kind person, more true then the friendships Ching shares
with her superficial socialite friends. She learns that Ling has a childhood
sweetheart, whose identity she does not reveal.
Ching and Ling then make a deal with the mysterious man so that Ching can get
a kidney. However Ching informs the police beforehand, and when they arrive, the
man holds Ling hostage. However, Ling supposedly kills the man. Wai begins to
suspect Ling, and breaks into her house. Meanwhile Ching invites Ling to her
house where she learns that the man who was killed was none other than Ling's
childhood sweetheart. Ling tells her that since she was in need of money for her
mother, she and the man planned to make a living selling kidneys. However,
because of Ching's 'betrayal', the man killed himself. Ling then discovers that
Wai has been searching her house. She holds Wai hostage and asks Ching to come
to her workplace, a research center, and give her kidney. Ching, armed with an
axe chases Ling, her anger intensifying when she learns that Wai is dead. But
Ling suffocates her with plastic.
In the end, Ching wakes up in hospital, where a doctor tells her that she was
in critical condition, but saved by a kidney that belonged to the dead at the
scene where she was found. She realizes that Ling hacked herself to death to
give her the kidney she always wanted. Unable to digest this information, she
starts screaming, begging the doctor to remove her kidney, as the camera cuts to
a shot of Ching telling Ling they will always be together, and another of Ling
lying dead with her voiceover saying, "You'll owe me this forever." There is a
final shot of Ching, under the effect of sedatives, falling unconscious.
