    Wanted criminal Hong Shen finally meets his end after being stabbed in the back by a comrade. As he makes his final resting place under a dead plum tree, he submits to death.

    Instead, he receives two choices: die, or be given a second chance.

    To take the second chance means he must complete a trial in the past in order to return to the present. But what he doesn't know is that the trial isn't only difficult for him, but even more difficult for the person he must be to fulfill it.

Tom soon finds himself in Las Vegas, where his luxury hotel assigns him a personal concierge - a handsome young man who seems to be making suggestive remarks.
