Having escaped civil war from her country, Hui Ying knows pain and she’s had her fill. Uncompromising and determined she has decided to take her chances after almost being kidnapped and trek through California’s varying terrain in search of the Golden Mountain, also known as San Francisco. 

As Hui Ying makes her way through the forest she unwittingly crosses paths with a hostile creature. Finding the creatures weakness, Hui Ying builds a series of booby traps to ensnare and kill the creature. Nothing will stand in her way to the Golden Mountain...
