Ordinary middle-aged man Cheng Yong (played by Xu Zheng) runs a health supplement store, feeling down on his luck and recently divorced. The unexpected arrival of Lv Shouyi (played by Wang Chuanjun) opens up a new business path for him, going to India to buy medicine as a " purchasing agent." Despite numerous challenges, he discovers opportunities on this "medicine-buying road" and becomes the exclusive agent for Indian generic drugs treating chronic myeloid leukemia. While making money, he also meets several patients and their families, including Si Hui (played by Tan Zhuo), who is forced to be a dancer to save her daughter, Pastor Liu (played by Yang Xinming), who speaks fluent “priest-style” English, and the hot-tempered “Huang Mao” (played by Zhang Yu). Together, they partner to do business, but with increasing profits, risks also mount. Cheng Yong's former brother-in-law, Officer Cao (played by Zhou Yiwei), is assigned to investigate the source of the generic drugs. Drug dealer Zhang Changlin (played by Wang Yanhui) and a legitimate Swiss pharmaceutical representative (played by Li Naiwen) also set their sights on him, turning the business into a tug-of-war over redemption. This film is adapted from the true story of leukemia patient Lu Yong purchasing anti-cancer drugs.
