Frank, an American in his early fifties, has been having a tough time lately. The family business, a cheese-making company passed down from his great-grandfather, has hit a bottleneck under his management. The company has been losing money for a long time and is sure to go bankrupt. Currently, Frank is undergoing treatment at a drug rehabilitation center, where the detoxification process is excruciatingly difficult. His emotions fluctuate wildly; when he's feeling good, he calls himself "dad," but when he's not, he curses himself as a "bastard." There's no way around it - after all, he got divorced and left his children in a tough spot. Like most ordinary people in this world who desperately try to escape misfortune, Frank decides to take a huge risk. He plans to package the company nicely, sell it to an unsuspecting sucker, then run off with the money far away from America, taking along his beloved daughter and his conscience, which will likely take a long time to recover.

In short, Frank painfully decides to be a villain.

Thanks to globalization and the concept that "the world is flat," the buyer of the company turns out to come from across the ocean. A Chinese man shows a strong interest in acquiring this "high-profit" company. His name is Li Qiang, and he is from Beijing. Thus, Frank embarks on a trip to China.
