Plot

Tom Chan, Dick Ching and his older cousin Hairy Mo live in the same tenement building but have different love lives. Tom and his girlfriend Joyce are totally harmonic, but nonetheless love has become feelings.[ clarification needed ] Once, looking for lust in a nightclub, Tom meets a stunning PR girl, Cat. The two fall in love, but since Tom's wedding date is getting close, he needs to make a tough decision.

Dick is a playboy who often pursues sex without love. Sometimes at night without a pursuing object, he spends the night with Wai-fong.

At this point, Tom's younger sister, Pearl, returns to Hong Kong from the US and Dick feels lost of Pearl's passion. On the other hand, Dick realizes that he had always loved Wai-fong but she has gone elsewhere when he wants to express his love.

Hairy is a bachelor who meets a divorced man Michelle, who turns out to be a homosexual man. Later, Hairy dates a girl named Francis who strikingly resembles his idol Vivian Chow, something unexpected for this unbearably lonely man.
