College student Zhou Nian is tricked by her lover Gu Yuan into Victory Compound in Cambodia. Imprisoned for seven years, she is forced into scam operations and gives birth to twins. Before the compound collapses, Gu Yuan leaves money and boat tickets for her and the children to flee — yet he only means to use them as his escape bargaining chips. Seeing through his plot, Zhou Nian flees arduously with her kids. She outruns pursuers, gathers evidence of the compound’s crimes, leaks it anonymously and surrenders to authorities back home. She avoids punishment for her meritorious contributions. Gu Yuan is caught after an international manhunt. Zhou Nian devotes herself to anti-fraud public work with her children and starts a new life.
