An American living in Bangkok is arrested for murder and recognizes the hopelessness of his situation, even though he can prove he wasn't in the country when the crime was committed.

"You don't have a system of justice," he says to Sonchai, "you have a system of extortion. This is a kleptocracy."

As it happens, neither Sonchai nor his partner, Lek, an exceptionally effeminate transsexual, are corrupt—evidently the only two cops in Thailand who aren't.
