My Dangerous Mafia Retirement Plan plot centers on triad members who are no longer in their prime and must learn to survive in middle age. It also tells of triads who must learn to adjust to life outside once they are released from incarceration after serving a long prison sentence.[3]
Former triad Ho Kei-song (Kent Cheng) has put his former gang life behind to become a chef and later owner of his own small restaurant since falling in love with his current wife So Yau-lam (Alice Chan) and wanting to provide a stable family life for his daughter Joyce Ho Fuen-sam (Eliza Sam). Life is good as Kei-song and Yau-lam make a good living at their small restaurant and Kei-song's cooking is popular with the locals that frequent his restaurant. Also with Yau-lam's help of providing a mother figure to Joyce, Joyce is a university graduate who works as an investment banker. Their happy family life is threatened when Kei-song's triad boss Lau Cheuk-nam (Tommy Wong) is set to be released from prison after serving twenty years in jail. Not only does Cheuk-nam wants to pull Kei-song back into triad life but Kei-song and Yau-lam's marriage is also put on the line as Yau-lam was Cheuk-nam's girlfriend who never officially broke up with him.
