When he takes on a steady post managing an aging apartment block, a chance encounter with a tenant named Alex Cheung, a flight attendant, lands with uncanny similarity to the woman from his visions. As they begin to talk, the building itself seems to wake up, its corridors and rooms bending to reveal the odd, sometimes magical lives of the residents. The line between dream and reality starts to blur, pulling Siu into a mystery that feels personal and strangely alive.
