Ang, a transgender sex worker with a pretty, feminine voice is assigned a special mission as an undercover spy. She disguises herself as a cisgender man to enter into a romantic relationship with Jit, a belligerent yet idealistic student activist with an evil voice.

Apolitical at first, Ang is slowly awakened by Jit to see the other world where people speak in another way.
