| Zhou Fada (Shaun Chen), nicknamed Big Brother, lives in the Dakota Crescent neighbourhood, where Ye Xiaoying (Chen Hanwei) and Zhang Weixiong (Jesseca Liu) also live. Big Brother is a young loafer with erratic behaviour. Though Xiaoying is Big Brother’s uncle and his senior, they bicker constantly. Weixiong is a beautiful female law student and has known Big Brother since young. The three are self-proclaimed “heroes” of Dakota Crescent. Big Brother’s grandmother, nicknamed Grandma Wuxia (Jin Yinji), is helpful with a sense of righteousness. She even takes care of her neighbour, Cardboard Auntie (Ng Suan Loi), when she is ill. In the hope of getting her to buy them a meal, Big Brother and Xiaoying flatter Grandma Wuxia shamelessly. She laments that both of them are lazy and good-for-nothing. None of Big Brother’s jobs last, and all of Xiaoying’s business ventures have failed. In exasperation, she gives them $2 to buy food for the three of them. Big Brother manages to get them a decent meal with just $2. Also living in the neighbourhood are Guan Meiyu (He Yingying) and Guan Meimei (Bonnie Loo), a pair of twins. Meiyu is smart, while Meimei is not as able. Meiyu orders Meimei to sing at hawker centres to earn a living. She gives her a bottle of pepper to defend herself. Luo Bei (Peter Yu) is moved by Meimei’s voice. He gives her a $50 tip. Stunned, Meimei does not dare accept it. Big Brother urges her to keep it. | ||

| Big Brother learns Meimei has dropped out of school and assumes she is going to be a busker. She explains she has hopes of becoming a professional singer and is gathering the courage to try it out. Xiaoying comes up with another business idea and asks Big Brother to convince his good friend, Ou Jinguang (Andie Chen), to invest in it. Big Brother refuses. Jinguang and his father, Ou Sihai (Zhu Houren), own a small provision shop. Jinguang is honest and introverted, and does not have a mind of his own. On the pretext of making Jinguang an investor in his new business, Xiaoying tricks him into handing over his ATM card. Xiaoying likes Jinguang’s sister, Jinxuan (Paige Chua). He plans to buy her a sumptuous meal when he gets the money. Weixiong’s brother, Weikang (Ian Fang), tells Meiyu that Meimei has left with a stranger. Meiyu looks frantically for Meimei and finds her just in time to rescue her from the wiles of a fake policeman. Fan Fangfang (Sheila Sim) goes to Si Hai provision shop looking for Chen Bangqing (James Seah). An overseas visitor, she only knows he lives along Dakota Crescent. She does not have the exact address, so Jinguang is unable to help her. Weixiong’s mother, Jiahui (Pan Lingling), tolerates her mother-in-law, nicknamed Mahjong Auntie (Zhu Xiufeng), who always picks on her. Big Brother and Weixiong suspect Luo Bei has stolen Cardboard Auntie’s money. They drag him to face her. Cardboard Auntie denies knowing him and asserts that he did not steal her money. They recognise Luo Bei as a once-popular actor and are sobered that in retirement he is merely down and out. Weixiong forces Big Brother to take out his educational certificates and start applying for jobs. He lies that he flunked his “A” Level exams even though he passed with flying colours. | ||

| Weixiong talks Big Brother into working a temporary job with a moving company. He agrees reluctantly. To avoid the strenuous work, he fakes an injury. Meiyu and Meimei’s father, Guan A-li (Chen Tianwen), is released from prison. Even though he and his wife, Lili (Aileen Tan), are divorced, he keeps harassing her. He has the impression that she divorced him while he was serving his prison sentence because she had a lover. Jiahui’s back is injured when she piggybacks Mahjong Auntie up the stairs. The latter has been complaining about her own backache. Jiahui’s secondary school classmate, Xie Xian (Terence Cao), insists on taking her home in his car when he notices that she is in pain. A cleaner finds Fangfang lying motionless in a playground and asks Jinguang to check if she is still alive. Fangfang wakes up suddenly. Thinking Jinguang is up to no good, she slaps him. Xiaoying gives Jinxuan a string of cheap religious beads and brags that it can change a person’s destiny and fulfil the wishes of its owner. Jinxuan listens in disbelief. A-li buys a can of kerosene and a lighter from Si Hai provision shop. Believing he is going to set fire to Lili’s house, Big Brother warns her. He diverts A-li’s attention to give Lili time to escape. | ||

| Weixiong is concerned about Big Brother’s so-called injury. Sensing something fishy from Meimei’s reaction, she realises Big Brother is only feigning pain. Meimei wants to talk A-li out of causing harm to her family. Big Brother does not stop her but Xiaoying worries A-li might turn violent. Big Brother is confident A-li will not hurt his own daughter. A-li claims he has never had any intention of setting Meimei’s house afire. He had only made the threat in a fit of anger. Weixiong starts scolding A-li. Infuriated, he splashes kerosene on her. Big Brother quickly turns A-li’s attention away. The police arrive and A-li flees. Although Lili is angry with A-li, she does not wish for him to be imprisoned yet again. One of Mahjong Auntie’s mahjong players, Steven (Henry Thia), tries to get fresh with Jiahui. Jiahui wants her husband, Zhiming (Brandon Wong), to tell Mahjong Auntie not to allow strangers into their house to play mahjong. Zhiming remains indifferent. Big Brother points out that being impulsive is Weixiong’s weakness. She agrees, and laments that she is not suited to being a lawyer. Jinguang finds the homeless Fangfang in the void deck, running a fever. He takes her back to the provision shop. It’s late at night. Big Brother is glued to his computer, analysing the US stock market. He has a target in mind. | ||
