Boarding Gate

Miles Rennberg, a veteran in the criminal underworld, contemplates his retirement from the security company that he runs alongside his partner, André. His decision to cash out signifies a potential shift in his life as he weighs the risk and reward of walking away from a dangerous lifestyle.

Sandra, a cunning moll with a tumultuous past with Miles, barges into his office, confronting him with their shared history. She rails against the toxic traits of their past relationship, revealing her motivations and ambitions, including her plans for a nightclub in Beijing.

Intrigued by Sandra's boldness and charm, Miles invites her to his apartment, even though he refrains from making any real commitments. She leaves to go about her day as a façade, but the implication of their connection hangs heavily in the air.

While Sandra juggles her ambitions, she is mired in a drug trafficking operation with her apprentice, Lisa. A simple transaction goes horribly wrong with the involvement of a Narcotics officer, leading to rising suspicions and complications that threaten her plans.

Following the botched drug deal, Lester confronts Lisa, dismissing her and presumably taking over her responsibilities. This highlights the shifting dynamics and betrayals within Sandra's circle, ultimately complicating her dealings further.

During a drive home, Sandra's affair with Lester is brought to light, leading to a hasty departure when Lester receives a call from his wife. This overlap of romantic chaos and deception deepens the intrigue and tension among the characters.

With a sense of unresolved tension, Sandra ventures into Miles' apartment, revisiting painful memories that threaten to resurface their complicated history. As she recounts a horrific past incident with Japanese clients, the conversation escalates, revealing deeper layers of their toxic relationship.

The escalating tension leads to a chaotic sexual encounter between Sandra and Miles, driven by a mix of rage and desire. This conflict culminates in a brutal struggle for dominance as Sandra attempts to overpower Miles, reflecting the turmoil of their toxic bond.

Following their violent encounter, Sandra hurriedly attempts to erase any evidence of her presence as she exits Miles' apartment. With cash in hand from Lester, she sets her sights on Hong Kong, seeking a fresh start yet burdened by her chaotic past.

In Hong Kong, Sandra arrives at a nondescript office expecting to meet a contact but instead finds her apprentice Lisa's lifeless body, tied to a chair. This grim encounter forces Sandra to confront the dangers her decisions have unleashed, plunging her deeper into despair.

Engaging her wits, Sandra creates a diversion to escape the ominous clutches of the affluent woman in the office. Taking advantage of the chaos, she successfully avoids potential capture and escapes back into the streets of Hong Kong.

While reflecting upon her chaotic journey, Sandra halts at a ferry railing, clutching Miles' keys tied to their doomed romance. Overcome with emotion, she relinquishes the keys into the water, symbolizing her futile desire to escape her past.

Desperate for guidance, Sandra repeatedly attempts to contact Lester, only to discover that he has become increasingly evasive. Eventually, it is Sue, Lester's wife, who divulges the extent of their treachery, deepening Sandra's sense of betrayal.

At Sue's behest, Sandra attends a karaoke club, where she unwittingly consumes a sedative. As the drug takes its toll, she finds herself slipped into a back room, where she must confront Sue, only to succumb to manipulations instead.

Upon awakening in a luxurious setting promising a job in Shanghai, Sandra opts to reclaim her agency by pursuing Lester instead. However, her determination is thwarted when unexpected distractions arise, leaving her once again teetering on the brink of indecision.
