Synopsis
Dong Weihong (Li Nanxing) returns to Singapore from the United States with his 9-year-old son after many years. He catches up with his old-time buddies, Chen Hanyuan (Rayson Tan), Lai Guoqiang (Brandon Wong) and Huang Zhenfa (Zheng Geping) to reminisce the past. Although they shared a secret past, they have now taken different paths in their life. Weihong, who is jobless, helps out in Zhenfa's car dealing business, while Hanyuan is a successful lawyer. On the contrary, Guoqiang earns a living by becoming a professional "scapegoat" for criminals. Before too long, the past catches up and the old feelings of betrayal start to brew among them.
The four friends committed arson and were sentenced to jail many years ago. But Hanyuan was given a heavier sentence after he failed at pleading against the crime. He was given an extra stroke of caning. Deeply traumatized, he vowed to find out which of his friends betrayed him. To find out the real culprit, Hanyuan stops at nothing, causing harm to those around him. Will he stop in time before he causes more harm to others and to himself as well?
