When Hong Da-Hao, a former gangster turned debt collector, arrives at a struggling bookstore to collect on an overdue debt, he finds the owner has already fled. Though his methods are now bound by the company’s "legal debt collection" rules, Da-Hao is determined to use this job as a turning point in his life. Faced with a near-empty cash register, store manager Liu Qing-Wen pleads for leniency, as the dismal financial situation has shown the reason of the missing bookstore owner. Seeing this as his only chance to succeed, Da-Hao makes an unconventional decision: he moves into the bookstore, giving himself three months to help Liu Qing-Wen sell off the entire inventory to repay the debt.
