A-Deng, a young prisoner from a southern village, was released temporarily to visit his relatives during the Spring Festival. However, the sudden outbreak of an epidemic prevented the expected relatives and friends from visiting. Trapped at home, he had to confront his father, who used to be an alcoholic and abusive but is now paralyzed. Meanwhile, his stepmother, who has been shouldering the family's burden without complaint, is about to leave. As the New Year approaches, A-Deng finds himself in a state of suffering.
