Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Mak is an optimist. He is driven to despair after a series of depressing events and got himself into a car accident. As he passed out, his spirit went to hell where the devils told him that he will die after the deaths of the Millionaire Wong, Ms Pao and Mr. Shek. At the same, a big bag is thrown at him from a passing car. In it is the dead body of Millionaire Wong. Mak turns to Shek's sister for help...
