“Where there is greed, there are lies… You can never delve into the human mind!”
Police Constable LUI TO (WONG CHUNG CHAK, BOSCO) is shocked to discover that TSU FUNG (CHAN KIN FUNG, SAMMUL), who has reportedly gone missing for a year, is already dead and that his body has been claimed by his girlfriend LAM PING (TSUI KATE TSZ SHAN).

PING’s family have become entangled in a series of mishaps ever since her marriage to FUNG.
