Xiao Muo (Chen Bo-Lin) is a young man who is brought up in an old Taipei neighborhood. One day, a beautiful young girl May (Tong Yao) subsequently appears in Xiao Muo’s neighborhood. Suffering from a voice problem and desperate to hide herself, she seeks help from Xiao Muo, who offers her a place to stay, finds her a job at a local diner, and even takes her to a Chinese doctor for treatment. His kindness seems to touch her heart, but does not help to lift her melancholic mood. Like Xiao Muo, others in the neighborhood are kind to her and never ask where she is from.
Meanwhile, in Taipei, there is news that a debut artiste of a record company failed to show up at the launch event and has disappeared. There is much gossip around her disappearance but the record company offers no explanation. Curious, journalist Jack sets off to find the whereabouts of this young artist named May.
Xiao Muo finds himself falling in love with May as her voice is recovering. Her heart, however, belongs somewhere else. He finally understands that one disappears in order to be found.
