在这部海巡尖兵剧情/短片片中,總統大選之夜，三名海巡兵如常地守著宜蘭竹安的海岸線。百無聊賴地，一兵找盡藉口玩弄二兵，看在上兵的眼中，卻彷彿看到了當年自己被玩的情景。正當一兵愈玩愈過份之際，上兵作出勸誡，卻引發起激烈的爭辯。原來，一切也只是一個惡性循環；不單只發生在海巡兵身上，所有活在扭曲制度下的人也同是受害者。剛憑《一年之春》奪得第八屆台北電影節百萬首獎的鄭有傑，導而優則演出上兵一角，還有《孽子》及《不見》男主角張捷演繹二兵，同樣極具睇頭。林書宇富寓意的劇本，善用場景與氣氛，為我們帶來了一部極具戲味與張力的好戲。本片获第八届台北电影节最佳剧情片奖。
On the night of March 18th, 2000, the presidential election, as usual, three coastguards are on patrol by the seaside of Yi-Lan. Private First Class, just out of lock-up, is equipped with a walkie-talkie. The Private (second in command) has a military 65-K2 rifle and the Private recruit (rookie) has two clips of ammunition. From the walkie-talkie comes the news that the captain is heading back to base and is done with that nights post checks. Seeing that it's still a long, boring night ahead, The Private starts looking for excuses hazing the rookie. At first, Private First Class doesn't seem to mind too much. Until the trick, "The moon chase" is pulled on the rookie does Private First Class start feeling sympathy towards the rookie. As the hazing turns more ugly, Private First Class urges The Private to stop his immoral actions. The two argue and Private First Class slowly comes to the realization that he too, was once picking on rookies; and he is actually responsible for this unstoppable cycle of pain. When did he become someone he loathes? What can he now do to change it? As the long night comes close to an end, the mysterious seaside woman nicknamed "28" shows up. The Private forces the rookie to have sex with "28" as a rite of passage all soldiers on this coast have gone through. Private First Class steps forward to stop this horrendous act, yet his choice of action may be just as ridiculous and absurd...
