Kevin, also known as Huang-Qiwen, is a prominent artist and philanthropist who owns a factory producing exquisite Buddha statues in the serene countryside of Taiwan.

Working alongside him is Pickle, portrayed by Cres Chuang, a diligent security guard at the factory, and his sole companion, Belly Button, played by Bamboo Chu-Sheng Chen, who struggles to make ends meet scavenging for scraps. One fateful day, curiosity leads Belly Button to sneak into Pickle’s security room, where they both the chance to glimpse the lavish life of rich people through Kevin’s recordings. However, they are unprepared for the shocking discovery they make: Kevin has brutally killed his mistress and concealed her body within the Buddha statue.
