- A lonely Singaporean death row guard tries to help a young Australian convicted of drug trafficking accept her fate despite a bizarre contradiction - he is her executioner. Inspired by the true life figure Darshan Singh, Singapore's Chief Executioner and self-styled death-row confidant.—Anonymous
- The Hangman of Singapores Changi prison is a loner, a widower and an outcast to his colleagues. Nevertheless he does his work dutifully and efficiently. However, peculiar to his affairs, he gets to know the condemned for months, even years before he ever hangs them. He takes it upon himself to help them come to terms with their fate and shepherds them from the day they enter prison to their final death march and up until his utterance of the eponymous words, I am going to send you to a better place than this. One day, the Hangman is charged with the task of hanging his first woman, a young Australian convicted of trafficking. He struggles against her youthful defiance to persuade her to accept her fate, but in the end it is she who begins to turn him from his conviction.
