Somehow, a mentally disturbed 30-year-old man from Taipei finds himself waking up out of a coma in a hospital in a small coastal town in Thailand.
A woman is at his bedside, calling him Assanee. But that’s not his name. His name is Her Sue Yong. And besides, he can’t speak Thai. He leaps from his bed and runs, and the nurses give chase.

He’s a clean-cut young man with a beautiful wife. And he has a job as a civil servant in a government office. His inability to speak Thai is no problem at work.
