A series of gruesome
murders resembling fairy tales, puzzle a hard-nosed detective.
Inspector Wong arrests a seemingly disturbed man who has
confessed to a brutal murder reminiscent of a children’s fable. After the
supposed victim turns up alive and unharmed, the perpetrator is dismissed as a
crank and let free. Days later, the victim turns up dead with his stomach cut
open and stuffed with rocks. Wong realises he has let a dangerous killer go
free and becomes obsessed with tracking him down whilst covering up his
mistake. While Wong’s family life is neglected, more and more grizzly and bloody
murders are committed laying reference to Cinderella, The Red Shoes and Hansel
& Gretel.
