The story begins when Mrs. Phan, a 60s-year-old widow, whose life is bound within the kitchen's walls, walks in on a strip show of her granddaughter (Nhien, 18-year-old) in her room, to the camera, on a cam-site. Angry and ashamed, Mrs. Phan judges Nhien as equal to being a prostitute for doing the cam-modeling work. Nhien tries to convince her grandmother to believe that a woman has every right to her own body, including however she wants to exhibit it, by guiding Mrs. Phan through several intimate lessons. Each lesson peels a layer off her, finally letting her reconnect with the innermost desire for her own body. Soon, societal prejudice takes hold on Mrs. Phan and lets her taste the bitterness of her own medicine.

Dane ‘Marbles’ Marbeck can see ghosts, thanks to a homemade drug: his late father’s neurological medication mixed with marijuana. Officer Jayson Tagg, a wannabe super-cop on the trail of a serial killer, ends up murdered. So when Marbles’ mum plans to sell the family farm, and the only way of buying the house off her is taking the money offered by Tagg in exchange for his help, Marbles accepts. The unlikely duo of stoner medium and ghost cop struggle to reconcile their differences while they navigate their way through ghouls, perverts, a mysterious hooded figure, and an unexpected shot at love. It becomes clear the only way Marbles and Tagg will solve the case with their souls intact is to confront their deepest regrets and overcome their prejudices.
