==Plot==<br />
Much like the film’s namesake street, tucked away in Hong Kong’s lush Peak district high<br />
above the chaos and commerce of the city, museum curator Samantha (Jessey Meng) seems<br />
to have the world at her feet. As strikingly beautiful as she is whip-smart, she moves through<br />
life with a self-assuredness few can match, making deals and turning heads -- in particular,<br />
that of wealthy antiques collector Greg (Carl Ng). Samantha seems to have it all, until in a<br />
single phone call her past catches up with her, and reminds her that she could lose everything.<br />
<br />
The caller is Kate (Qu Ying), one of the thousands of Hong Kong’s paid mistresses, beautiful<br />
women working as high-class escorts kept under wraps by the town’s elite. In Samantha’s<br />
former life, she and Kate both worked for the same client, the abusive, morally bankrupt<br />
Hans (Zheng Shiming). Samantha once risked her life to escape and make Hans believe she<br />
was dead, but now, with Kate in trouble – desperate to leave the life but terrified that Hans<br />
will come after what he’s paid for, and make her pay in return – Samantha must look her past<br />
in the face.<br />
<br />
With the help of Mao (Elvis Tsui), an alcoholic ex-cop axed from the service after beating up<br />
his boss’ girlfriend, and the benevolent guidance of museum head Dr. Lee (Richard Ng),<br />
Samantha hatches a plan to kidnap Kate and help her start fresh with a new life. But when<br />
complications arise, Kate’s friendship is called into question, Hans gets wind that Samantha<br />
may still be alive and Greg begins to suspect that she isn’t the woman he thought he knew,<br />
Samantha is left wondering where to turn and whom she can trust. Ultimately, Samantha<br />
must ask herself how much she’s willing to pay to prove to herself that she’s no longer for<br />
sale.<br />
<br />
