The Pimp, The Policeman, The Prostitute, The Pedophile. Rhino stands on his penthouse balcony, surveying Beach Road and the girls that he pimps. Sunshine on his back and steroids in his veins, he is the expat King of Pattaya. Meanwhile Detective Copeland is a solution in search of a problem, travelling to Thailand on the hunt for internationally mobile sex offenders. They have just one commonality - local working girl, Joy. And so begins a chain of events, in which each participant seems forced to answer the question: how much evil can one tolerate before resolving to fight fire with fire?
