Richard Ma is a tightfisted, mean, and unpleasant character. He is also a wealthy businessman who has become increasingly bitter and mistrustful due to what he believes are the gold digging women in his life.
Following a series of events one weekend, Richard's financial assets are temporarily frozen, his house is looted by his bitter ex-girlfriend and he has no cash leaving him helpless and broke.
It is during this fateful weekend that he meets Choi; a struggling stockbroker who is trying to ward off the attentions of an unwanted suitor from her local village. By offering to help Ah Choi in return for financial gain, a most surprising relationship develops between this unlikely pair.
