Abstract
Set in industrial Singapore, police investigator Lok must find missing migrant worker Wang. Wang suffers a worksite accident and is anxious about repatriation. Unable to sleep, Wang starts frequenting a dreamy cybercafe in the dead of the night. Hoping to look for some form of human connection in this foreign land he feels alienated from, Wang forms a virutal friendship with a mysterious gamer that takes a sinister turn. When Wang suddenly disappears, Lok digs deep into the trail leading to a land-reclamation site, in order to uncover the truth beneath all that sand.
