Bored out of his mind in Taipei, Brandon heads down south to Pingtung, Taiwan in search of new thrills. His friend Tiger is waiting for him in Wenle Village. Tiger, a seasoned boxer and member of the Paiwan community, shows Brandon around the village before taking him to a local boxing gym for training. But when a local boy challenges Brandon to a boxing match, Brandon calls a time-out to grab a snack and some fresh air. In nearby Shenshan Village, Brandon tries a plate of barbecue pork that knocks his socks off. Still not satisfied, he visits a local Rukai cooking school, where he learns about the Rukai people's traditions and ways of life. He even joins his teachers in making the popular Rukai dish, cinabu, a seasoned wild boar meat dumpling wrapped in shell ginger leaves. After filling up on protein, Brandon returns to Wenle Village to face his challenger. But how will he fare in the ring?
