At the End of Daybreak

Malaysia, now. The 23-year-old Tuck Chai is dating Ying, a schoolgirl who isn’t yet 16. They probably met in an internet chatroom. Her parents know nothing about the illicit relationship until they find birth-control pills in her room. Tuck Chai will be charged with statutory rape for having sex with a minor. He lives with his mother, a woman who has never got over her husband abandoning her, but would do anything for her son. Ying tricks her parents and goes for a fateful meeting with Tuck Chai.
