S01E01 Episode 1
Barefoot and fleeing his crumbling home life, Li Qing escapes down a sunlit alley as his broken, gun-waving father gives chase, haunted by past glory and present loss.
Xiao Yu and A Qing visit Mouse, who proudly displays his stash of stolen memories, each tied to a forgotten moment. But the fragile calm is broken when Mouse is brutally beaten by his older brother, Crow, forcing the boys into heavy silence on a grimy kitchen floor. Meanwhile, A Qing brings his ailing mother to Di Wa’s grave. Her sorrowful confession reveals a life spent fleeing—just like A Qing. In her regret, he sees his own reflection: a runaway soul, searching for something he can’t name, headed toward the same quiet ruin.
In a city that won’t accept him, A-Qing finds others like him—under the neon shadows of Taipei’s New Park.
