Nguyen Quoc Phi is a young Vietnamese man who loved singing. He came to Taiwan hopping to pay off debts but ended up as a "runaway migrant worker," working hard on construction sites with dreams of returning home in success and starting a business. However, in August 2017, he was tragically shot nine times by police officer Chen Chung-wen during a conflict when he was reported attempting to steal a car by a remote river. Nguyen bled to death on the way to the hospital.

The Taiwanese public supported Chen's use of firearms against the "runaway migrant" who resisted arrest and had a record of drug use, but a series of mysteries emerged after the incident. Were the nine shots the only cause of Nguyen's death? When the perpetrator isn't necessarily the true perpetrator, is the imperfect victim the one to blame? Through never-before-seen footage and in-depth interviews, this investigative documentary reveals the heart-wrenching and complex realities that 700,000 other migrant workers are facing between Southeast Asia and Taiwan.
