Shaken by the news, he embarks on a journey in search of this mystery woman who seems to be his only hope for survival. Amidst his desperate and frantic search for a way out of his doomed fate, he begins to confront himself, his past and the footprints of his chaotic modern life as he is led to the mysterious woman who holds the key to his life.
