Υπόθεση:
After his mother flees the family home, a son turns to thieving in order to support his father, an abusive sort who is addicted to gambling.
Little Lok-yun (Ng King-to) is raised by his mother Lin (Charlie Yeung), who works at a night club. However, one day Lok-yun’s father Shing (Aaron Kwok) returns to his family, and the three live together in a small appartment without any money. They are poor because Shing is addicted to gambling and always loses his money, which leads to a bunch of debt collectors giving him a hard time. Lin just can’t go on like this. Her husband is a total loser, whose quick tempered character really doesn’t help him make any friends. He may be saying that he loves Lin, but he never lets his actions speak. Instead he even uses force towards Lin at times. Yet, what Shing doesn’t know, is that Lin is having an affair with another man, who wants to marry her, and who can also give her financial security. Lin’s first attempt of escaping her life fails, because of the alert eyes of her son, but eventually she manages to find shelter at her new boyfriend’s home.
Shing and Lok-yun are now on their own, and despite the promises Shing makes about finding a job and that things will get better, he instead handles the shady sort of business. He also tries himself as a pimp for prostitute Fong (Kelly Lin), until he even goes as far as to making his son steal for him. Only then does little Lok-yun realize, that his father manoeuvres them right into a swamp of poverty ...
Good looks. Charming. Ladies man. Male buddies looked up to him. Not anymore. He is a shadow of the man he once was. A man past his prime. He has gambled it all away. He is down and out. And he is a father to a son who is smart and loves his father dearly – though he may not always understand why his father hurts his mother so. So when the mother plots to leave the father, the son informs the father and mother is violently beaten and locked up. But mother schemes to leave anyway after that, the son is left alone with the father. Soon the gambling habits of the father makes a thief out of the son. The son resists but is no match to the father’s cajoling and blackmail. The son was finally caught and sent to a juvenile detention centre. Father visits him and son bites off his ear. The lost of innocence is complete.
Ten years later, son returns to his home town and sees somebody who looks like father – they do not meet. Father and son walk away in different directions.
