Plot

Ah Wei (Tseng Jing-hua) is a lonely and despondent young man who repeatedly attempts suicide due to his isolation and misfortunes. After his latest failed attempt, he is hospitalized and begins to see four distinct ghosts: a smoker, an elderly woman, a melancholic woman, and a young boy. These spirits inform Ah Wei that they will only leave him in peace if he helps fulfill their individual last wishes. Reluctantly, Ah Wei agrees and embarks on a series of tasks to satisfy each ghost's request. Throughout this journey, he not only aids the ghosts in finding closure but also discovers a renewed appreciation for life and forms a meaningful connection with a paramedic named Xiao Yin, portrayed by Ivy Shao.
