Plot

Jun, played by Leon Lai, is an intellectually impaired man abandoned by his family in Tokyo with minimal money. He encounters a former classmate named Hoi, portrayed by Chapman To, who is actually a grifter evading yakuza loan sharks rather than a guardian angel. Yan, an escort service owner played by Yang Kuei-mei, believes Jun can work as a gigolo. Consequently, Hoi attempts to transform Jun to earn money and clear his debts, leading the pair to interact with clients in Japan. Despite Hoi exploiting Jun, Jun's trust eventually alters Hoi's perspective, forging a bond between them.
