[edit] Plot

Believing she is being rejected by her boyfriend Sam (Jesdaporn Pholdee), Joey (Shu Qi) attempts suicide with sleeping pills, but recovers after having her stomach pumped. When she looks forward to a brand new life, she discovers that she is pregnant. Being tortured by the thought of an abortion and unable to contact Sam, the man she knows is her baby's father, Joey finds herself becoming delusional and emotionally unstable.

Joey is frequently threatened by the sudden presence of strangers, and also feels stalked by a mysterious ghost woman. She believes the ghost wants to hurt her unborn baby. As the story unfolds, it is discovered that the woman is Sam's wife, who is awaiting the baby's birth so that she may be reincarnated within Joey's baby. On the night Joey tried to overdose on pills, Sam's wife overheard their conversation on the phone. Upset, she herself committed suicide, jumping in front of an oncoming train.

After discovering this, Joey would rather kill herself and her baby than let this woman become her child. While in a hospital awaiting the birth of her child, Joey jumps off the building several times, but to no avail. Finally she gives in and allows the woman to become her child. As Joey and her new baby checks out of the clinic, the camera pans across a room full of expecting mothers, each with a ghost hovering by their side.
