Because Mei Ling (Ma Li) is about to give birth, her husband Xu Dong (Zhang Yu) has no choice but to entrust a friend to find a home for his beloved dog. Ma Qianli (Zhang Zhiyong) is debt-ridden and desperate. By chance, he becomes the recipient of Xu Dong's pet. The unfortunate death of this dog has led to the meeting of two frustrated people standing at life's fork roads.
