Plot

A businessman moves to Hong Kong to pursue a career as an artist and falls in love with a prostitute he hires as a model.

Robert Lomax, tired of working in an office, wants to be an artist. So he moves to Hong Kong to try his hand at painting. Finding a cheap hotel, he checks in, only to find it's used by prostitutes and their "dates" they meet in the bar downstairs. Since he never picks up any of the ladies, they all want to know more about him. Eventually, he does hire one to model for him... and soon falls in love. However, since he's on a limited budget, he can't afford her exclusively, but doesn't want to "share" her with anyone else.—Brian W Martz <B.Martz@Genie.com>

Unable to convince himself he likes what he does for a living, disillusioned, grizzled American architect Robert Lomax puts his career on hold and leaves everything behind to have a go at painting. But as Robert sets foot on bustling, far-off Wan Chai in Hong Kong Island, a chance encounter with exotic, feisty native Suzie Wong will turn his world upside down, paving the way for an unexpected, unusual, East-meets-West relationship. And amid exciting new experiences and happy Sherry-Flip-fuelled nights, Lomax is on the verge of making an eye-opening, life-changing discovery. However, what does Suzie, the mysterious girl with the almond-shaped eyes, want from Robert, the fine gentleman in a strange land?—Nick Riganas
