After incurring debts from his failed business venture in China, Chung Wah returns to Hong Kong after a decade's hiatus. The demoralised Chung Wah faces problems finding a job and tries hard to get used to things at home, including his estranged relationship with his stepfather, who runs a Cantonese opera troupe, and half-sister, who is hostile towards Chung Wah as she always has the impression that the death of their mother was caused by the excessive fights between Chung Wah and his stepfather.
