Big brother KWAN KA ON (Michael Miu) is an interior designer and his wife SZE LONG KIU (Sonija Kwok) is a modern housewife. The couple had always only hoped for a peaceful family, but because ON had to rescue second brother KWAN KA HONG (Oscar Leung) and help him get through the troubles of his failed business, not only does he put his career plans aside, his wife KIU also had to go back out into the workforce. His younger sister KWAN KA LOK (Linda Chung) didn't want to burden her big brother any further, so she turned to her supervisor KO WAN JIM (Michael Tse) for assistance. However, the relationship turned into unethical interaction. LOK's boyfriend TING KOON FUNG (Ron Ng) was angered by her doings and wanted to break up with her. Fourth brother, KWAN KA WING (Him Law) lives his life from paycheck to paycheck. He would rather spend his monthly salary than to take up the responsibility of owning a home....ultimately, a nightmare starts in the KWAN family.
