greedy men plot the murder of a peasant boy in a coal mine in
Northern China. Pretending the boy is a relative, they count
to extort money from the mine owner after the victim’s
“accidental” death. They discover another potential
victim, a young boy, but the young peasant’s innocence
creates tension and unexpected twists in the murderous mineworkers’
scheme.
