Zhang Jia Wei and Chen Zhi Hao are a gay couple, whose love lost its glamour after three years. At this time, the single stud He Ye smashed into the life of the two. He Ye, a possessive man, took interest in men after toying with relationships with many women. He saw the conquering of men more of a challenge than making women fall for him. To possess Chen Zhi Hao, He Ye seduced Zhang Jia Wei, which led to the love problems of the couple. Zhang Jia Wei, a naïve young boy, could not handle the seduction of the sophisticated He Ye and began to question the love between Chen Zhi Hao and himself.

**The directorial debut of 21-year-old undergraduate student Shen Wei Wei. According to him, “Fire in Silence is neither a mere film about homosexuality nor a simple gay story, but rather, a portrait of one of the innermost desire[s] of human beings – the possessive instinct – [as seen] through gay characters. Human beings, born with desires, will stop at nothing, even at the cost of their basic conscience, to pursue what they want, whether it is power, money or love. He Ye [the seducer] is the epitome of everyone in this world.”

One of them is Dwight, young and at the peak of his trade, who loses the girl he loves to a politician's son. Then there's Alfred, who at 28, is past his prime and is kicked out of the club.
