The three kampong friends Ah Huang, Ah Hui and Ah Qiang, whom are all young seniors, each face their own family and financial problems.

In their attempt to join forces and support each other, their grand plan falls apart when the younger generation challenges the beliefs and value systems of the trio. Ah Huang’s mounting debts drive him to desperate measures. He borrows money from Ah Hui and Ah Qiang and builds illegal businesses that eventually prosper. However, his greed gets the better of him and he refuses to return any borrowed money from Ah Hui and Ah Qiang. Amidst his financial success, one of his businesses collapses, impacting not only his own family but also families of Ah Hui and Ah Qiang.
