Two young women reawaken a dormant love for each other in Spider Lilies. Tattoo artist Takeko (the strikingly attractive Isabella Leong) keeps a framed design of the poisonous spider lily flower on the wall of her parlour literally cut from the flesh of her father following his traumatic death in an earthquake. The image has not only become an important link between Takeko and her father but also to Takeko's traumatised brother Ching who since the accident is no longer able to recognise anyone - including his sister. When Jade (Taiwanese pop icon Rainie Yang) a spunky... webcam girl lustfully pursuing her first love visits Takeko's parlour she becomes entranced by the tattoo of the framed spider lily (as well as the identical tattoo on sexy Takeko herself). Taken with the quiet artist Jade invites Takeko to visit her on her website and recalls the crush she had on Takeko as a child. meanwhile an undercover agent is investigating Jade's webcam activity.
