Struggling actor Chih‑Wen (Michael Hui) is bound by an eight‑year contract with MTV Studios that has given him only one live performance. A rival company offers a five‑year deal with better pay and more gigs, but he can’t leave his current pact. To escape, Chih‑Wen joins his science‑enthusiast brother (Ricky Hui) and the quirky magician Shih‑Chieh (Sam Hui) to steal the contract from the ruthless manager.
