Three boatmen are framed and wrongly imprisoned. After narrowly escaping death, they flee south. Traveling from the north to the southern border, they hide in mountains and villages, struggling to survive. They have never harmed the innocent, yet as they are driven from place to place, they must constantly outwit those around them. With danger at every turn, they evade capture while searching for the truth behind the frame-up that ruined their lives. Along their long road of escape, they witness both the good and evil in human nature.
