Twenty-two year old Vietnamese-Australian Van Tuong Nguyen had never had a criminal conviction in his life. Finding his family in serious debt, Van takes it upon himself to fly to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to traffic heroin on behalf of a drug cartel. He is drawn to visit Vietnam for the first time, the land of his mothers birth. Van must first go to Cambodia, strap nearly half a kilogram of heroin onto his body and carry the packets out of the country via Singapore - a country where the death penalty awaits if he is discovered with the drugs.
