The story

Okwe, a doctor in his home country (not initially named) who was forced to flee after being falsely accused of murdering his wife, lives in the United Kingdom as an undocumented immigrant. He drives a cab in London during the day and works at the front desk of a hotel at night, which is staffed by other immigrants, both documented and undocumented. He is pressed to treat other poor immigrants, including fellow cab drivers with venereal diseases, with scarce supplies provided by his friend Guo Yi, an employee at a hospital mortuary.
