Yan is an illegal second child born during the One-Child policy. To avoid government punishment, Yan’s parents hid their oldest daughter in the countryside and raised Yan as a girl. Now a young adult, Yan struggles with his gender identity and being treated as an outcast in a conservative society. His sole escape is drifting his father’s old taxi through abandoned parking lots.

Mae Yan yn ail blentyn anghyfreithlon a anwyd yn ystod y polisi Un Plentyn. Er mwyn osgoi cosb gan y llywodraeth, cuddiodd rhieni Yan eu merch hynaf yng nghefn gwlad a magu Yan fel merch. Bellach yn oedolyn ifanc, mae Yan yn cael trafferth gyda’i hunaniaeth rhywedd ac yn cael ei drin fel alltud mewn cymdeithas geidwadol. Ei unig ddihangfa yw gyrru hen dacsi ei dad trwy feysydd parcio unig.
