Hoping to share the heavy burden on Ons shoulders, younger sister Kwan Ka Lok (Linda Chung) seeks help from successful property developer Jim Ko (Michael Tse), who takes the opportunity to develop an illicit affair with her, thus wrecking her relationship with boyfriend Ting Koon Fung (Ron Ng). In contrast, the youngest brother Kwan Ka Wing (Him Law) would rather spend all his income every month than committing to a mortgage. For the Kwan family, the dream of securing a happy & peaceful home turns out to be an endless nightmare...
