Back to the Wharf

Song has returned home after 15 years. He was once the best student, his whole life radiantly ahead of him. A golden opportunity was denied him by his headmaster, going instead to his best friend. In a fit of rage, he accidentally killed a man and departed town. Life continued and the incident remained unsolved. Song’s guilt and remorse traveled with him, so he remained low under the radar. His brief return is further complicated when he becomes romantically entangled with an old classmate. Meanwhile, his best friend, now a successful yet shady real-estate developer, and a witness to the murder a decade and half ago, is ready to upset the status quo.
