Line 4:
One day, Okwe makes a disturbing discovery while investigating a clogged toilet in one of the rooms - a recently removed human heart. Realizing that there has likely been foul play, the highly moral and conscientious Okwe begins to investigate despite being advised by both Juan and Guo Yi not to involve himself. Complicating his efforts to uncover the truth is his immigration status - because he's in the country illegally, he can't go to the police, and he has to be careful who he crosses because anyone who learns the truth about him can report him. Senay, meanwhile, is forced to dodge the investigations of a pair of immigration officials who are convinced she is working illegally, which complicates her budding friendship with Okwe and threatens her dream of saving enough money to start a new life in America with her cousin. Okwe is determined to both uncover the circumstances of the mysterious death and help Senay, but as he says himself, justice may be an impossibility when simply surviving is so difficult.
