Singapore is one of the top ten rapidly ageing countries in the world. By 2030, one in four people will be over the age of 60. We are ageing every day.

His wife, Yu Fang (Xiang Yun), puts up with him and finds meaning in life by doing charity work.

Qiming lets Dali off when two police officers pass by. Since his retirement, Chen Yalai (Chen Shucheng) has been working as a security guard at the condominium where Xiangdong lives. His son, Chen Guotai (Rayson Tan), is incapable and his daughter-in-law, Ivy (Vivian Lai), is always eyeing his money. His daughter, Chen Anxin (Jayley Woo), who is a nurse, is a challenge for him to handle, too. Ivy finds Yalai's bank passbook in his room and finds out he has more than $50,000 in his account. She wants to go for botox jabs, and asks Guotai to borrow money from his father. Anxin suspects someone is stalking her.
