In order to raise money for his mother's medicine, Shen Linfeng accepted the "quick money" from Lao Qi, the owner of the billiard hall. Starting from delivering packages, finding people, and watching games, he was gradually involved in a gray chess game intertwined with debt, freight, video halls, demolition projects, and provincial capital. He has seen the heat of brotherly loyalty and the coldness of human debt; he has learned to fight back after being taken advantage of; he wants to hold on to the bottom line, but finds that reality never gives people a clean choice.
Many people are not born to want to walk into dark alleys, but when life closes the door, the wind happens to blow next to them. If Shen Linfeng wants to survive on this road, he must also figure out: will he eventually become another Lao Qi, or will he walk out of a dark alley.
