A deadbeat dad's dying wish drags one man through 30 years of secrets he never asked for.
While he was in Macau, Pan Yiming unexpectedly receives a will from his father. They haven't seen each other in 30 years, still father left Pan Yiming with a huge hesitance, asking him to attend the funeral in order to inherit it. Pan Yiming returns to the small village in southern China, where he founds out his former lovers, daughters he has never met, and some residual memories and intricate secrets.
