Synopsis

Pak Goo is the head of her Female Dragon Boat Racing Team. The team won the runner-up position last year in Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Tournament, while at the same time offended some local organizers. This year, they are targeting the champion, but the road to this end is rugged. In the race, the team was misjudged foul at the first round, and was abrogated its run-off competency, which meant that they would gain nothing. For fairness and their reputation, and for the prize they are deserved, the 23 women racers, led by Pak Gao, began their 8-hour fight against the inviolable organizer.
