Plot Amon attempted to drift back home to hide from debt, only to find creditors at his door. Wounded, he fled into the wasteland and was rescued by Lao Fan. Lao Fan owns a small restaurant called Guns & Kidneys in an abandoned industrial area. About 15 years ago, the area experienced an attempted demolition, but due to the dissatisfied residents, the project was abandoned midway, leaving behind destitution. Amon found that the people here are lively and tough, but numb because business is bleak.
Opportunity arises when a foreign film crew chooses the abandoned industrial area for filming. As the residents look forward to the businesses that the new film could bring into the area, complications arrive when the demolition project revives and creditors close in.
