Ko Yi-man (Ha Yu) is the owner of a pawn shop and a devoted father to his son Ko Wai-ting (Evergreen Mak) 2nd daughter Ko Yu-chu (Linda Chung) and younger daughter Ko Yu-po (Cilla Kung). However, unknown to the trio, one of them is an abandoned child, the symbolic "collateral" in a good luck ritual made many years previously. When the receipt for the transaction comes to light, first speculation about the truth, and then the truth itself, threatens the family that he has given everything for and Ko Yi-man must fight to keep his family together.
