Sixteen-year-old tomboy Choo Xin Yu (Ranice Tay) seems like an outsider when she attends a highly competitive, elite all-girls school in Singapore. But she quickly befriends three other girls who share her rebellious spirit.

As the girls struggle to fit in, they pledge loyalty to each other and vow to form a gang as a form of resistance. When their rebellious acts—recorded on a camcorder—are discovered by their teacher, their lives are turned upside down. What haunts Choo may be more than just the ghost she suspects lurking in her room.

Singapore is a melting pot of Western and Eastern cultures, and the famous Merlion mascot, half fish, half lion, perfectly represents the duality of this city-state. Despite its open and multicultural facade, it is also a place of strict rules scrupulously followed by the conformist population. Amoeba is full of subtle symbols that are best understood within their cultural context. Something seemingly innocent, like chewing gum, becomes an act of rebellion. The only way the girls find liberation is within the confines of a camcorder screen.
