An inner struggle in Cambodia forces Angkor and her friend/body guard, Koytee, to flee to Thailand. Along the way, they get separated. Angkor eventually arrives at the refugee camp in Thailand alone awaiting Koytee. There Angkor meets Pookong Kan, who was secretly sent to investigate the case of several missing and deadly war weapons that may be linked to a few of the officer's corruption. By chance, Angkor gets mixed up and becomes an important witness to the murder of Pookong Kan's comrades by Muad Rit.
