Some years ago, an Italian violin that Niccolò Paganini supposedly had used was stolen from a Beijing orchestra, smuggled overseas, but miraculously recovered a few years later by Chinese law enforcement. Strangely, nothing about its recovery was ever printed in the press. Spurned by the police, an intrigued journalist tracks down Lu Yue Yue, a former policewoman who now works as a B-girl in a nightclub. She also refuses to speak on the case, but he proves more resilient than she expects. Finally, she agrees to tell him the whole story under the condition that he never publishes his story—unless she dies.
