Plot

Charles (Francis Ng) and James (Daniel Chan) are two brothers who lived with their grandmother during childhood. When Charles was eight years old, he committed an unexpected and unforgivable mistake, where he took HK$50,000 of cash from his grandmother's home and disappeared afterwards. James has held the grudge on his elder brother for his departure, not only for the fact that he took their grandmother's money, but mainly due to fact that his brother abandoned him without notice.

As the years go by, James has grown up and has met a good girlfriend, Jess (Pace Wu), while on the other hand, James became a member of a triad gang in Thailand, and is dating his triad brother, York's (Dave Wang) sister, Snow (Gigi Leung).
