Jay lives in a small village with train tracks that lead to the big city of Taipei. At the end of the summer, Jay and his best friends plan to board the train with smiles and dreams of college and beyond. But the pathway to get on the train is complicated. With the absence of his parents, and his drunken grandfather breaking a leg, this further obligates Jay to take care of the aging drunkard and the family business. As dreams of a life far away from the village begin to fade, a beautiful girl from the big city enters Jay's life. Like a mirage, the girl fills Jay with fantasies of hope, excitement, and possibilities but once more he is shattered when the girl leaves the village while Jay looks onward into the night and the unknown of where his life will lead.
