What she doesn't know is that her husband kept a diary for his protection. A diary that detailed all his transactions and the people he was involved with. When he's arrested and sent to prison, his boss (Xing Chu) finds out about the diary and wants it; wants it badly. After Nora is harassed by Chu and with no help from the disinterested police, she decides to leave town; to run away.

But it's not to be.
