The film delves into this quirky family, uncovering each member’s secrets and sorrows, leading to a dramatic escape where the truth finally emerges.

Huichiao, her grandmother Chunmei, Chunmei’s son Fusang, and daughter-in-law Lichun live together in a three-generational household in Taipei. The story begins on a stormy night when Huichiao quietly approaches and kills the sleeping Chunmei, coldly saying, “Granny, just die!” This reveals their deep-seated hatred.
Meanwhile, Huichiao’s relationship with her colleague A-jie gradually comes to light. A-jie’s seemingly accidental presence triggers a series of events, raising suspicions about everyone’s motives and true intentions.
