A-Qing (Niu Chengze), A-Rong (Zhang Shi), and other boys were born and raised in the Wind Cabinet. After graduating from high school, they spent their days waiting for conscription in boredom, wasting their excess energy through gambling, fighting, and watching white dramas. Following a serious fight and their growing weariness of their surroundings, they left the Wind Cabinet for Kaohsiung with anxious hearts. Initially, they could only wander like lost lambs in the dazzling chaos of the metropolis. With the help of A-Rong's sister, they found a temporary refuge. Once settled, A-Qing and A-Rong grew apart due to their differing worldviews. A letter from home triggers complex memories for A-Qing regarding his father, and witnessing the emotional turmoil of his crush Xiao Xing (Lin Xiuling) with her boyfriend (Tuo Zonghua) leads A-Qing to silence.
