[edit] Synopsis
Adam, an English backpacker, breaks up with his girlfriend after he finds her in bed with another man in a guesthouse on Khaosan Road in Bangkok. Adam then strikes out on his own, heading for Ko Samui. There, he meets Em, a young masseuse. At first, their relationship is innocent, but Adam soon grows frustrated and starts hitting the bars and becoming a sex tourist, or "butterfly man", flitting from woman to woman. Meanwhile, the ugly side of Samui starts to reveal itself, with a white slavery and prostitution ring, run by British mafia exposed.
