A breezy blend of slapstick cop action and sweet romance, with a dash of danger to keep things lively.

Because she has entered the country illegally and has no other place to live, she pretends that she has amnesia and that she thinks Ting-Bon is her husband. He feels guilty about her "condition", so he lets her stay in his house. But there is someone from her past stalking her, with bad intentions...
