As his family home is set to be demolished during urban renewal, Hao decides to buy a new house with his inheritance from his father so as to get away from this sad place and start a new life elsewhere with his mother, Hsia. However, in the meantime, he finds out that Hsia has continued using the inheritance money to make political contributions, for she is such a political fanatic. Somehow, Hsia believes that only CHIANG Chung-Yao, the latest candidate running for mayor, can bring about a bright future for all. Eventually, Hao has chosen to hold his mother captive for fear that Hsia will be duped into giving away all the inherited assets.
