Plot

In the heart of Bangkok's gritty streets, Mak, a young dreamer caught in the world of petty crime, yearns for the power and respect of a hardened gangster. His life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Som, a hardworking student moonlighting as a prostitute to make ends meet. Their worlds collide in a whirlwind of raw emotion, as they discover a shared dream of a better life and a bond that transcends their harsh realities. Fuelled by their newfound love and the thrill of danger, Mak plunges deeper into the seedy underbelly of drug trafficking to secure a future with Som. The shimmering allure of a prosperous life manifests in the form of designer clothes, high-tech mobile phones, and lavish sunglasses, tantalizingly within their reach after a successful drug run for a wealthy client. The intoxicating taste of luxury, however, blinds them to the perils they court. In their reckless pursuit of the high life, Mak and his motley crew concoct a daring plan, using Som as their trump card in a high-stakes deal with the same affluent client. But greed and desperation have a high price, and the lovers soon find themselves spiraling into a world where everything can go drastically wrong. "One Take Only" is a poignant tale of love, ambition, and survival, set against the backdrop of a city where dreams and nightmares walk hand in hand. This gripping narrative challenges the limits of hope and the resilience of the human spirit in a world where the pursuit of happiness can lead to the darkest corners.
