High above the commerce and crowds of Hong Kong winds Magazine Gap Road, a secluded enclave of wealth and privilege. Samantha is a curator for a private museum in a world where her past - a life spent in the Japanese flesh trade - is her most well-kept secret. One day, it catches up with her in a single phone call from Kate, another escort, who's in trouble. For Samantha, helping Kate means going back to the world she escaped and risking everything - her budding romance with a wealthy antiques collector, the deadly men who run Hong Kong's high-class prostitution ring, and most importantly, her own fears that beneath the veneer of respectability, she will always be for sale.
MAGAZINE GAP ROAD is a followup to director Nicholas Chin’s short film Tai Tai (Official Selection at Cannes 2002) and touts an accomplished cast and crew including Beijing actress Qu Ying, Jessey Meng (Mummy III), cinematographer Chan Yuan Kai (Ashes of Time) and Oscar award-winning editor Jean Tsien. It is an understated film set away from the crowded Hong Kong that most audiences have seen.
