Ming-shan is the leader of the mountain-climbing club at a college. Tien is a new member of the club. One day, Ming-shan tells Tien of the secret power she had to see ghosts when she was a child and how she was deeply bothered by this experience. Tien is doubtful about Ming-shan's words but she still encourages Ming-shan to face her past. The two girls gradually became good friends and develop a fondness for each other. However, Tien, finds that Ming-shan seems to care more about Dick, a senior leader of the club. But Dick is so silent that no one knows what he thinks about. The three later team up to go mountain-climbing, but Ming-shan loses her way and drifts astray from Tien and Dick. When Tien and Dick find Ming-shan, Tien decides to confess her emotion upheaval to Ming-shan, hoping Ming-shan can rid her of her obsessive memory of the ghosts of the past.
