Loke is a single father who works hard to ensure that his only daughter Eileen gets the best education. Loke lies to Eileen, telling her that he can afford her overseas education, and convinces her to go to New York City to further her studies. While she is away, Loke moves into a one-room flat to save as much money as possible. Loke finds himself in the spotlight as his new senior neighbours try to befriend him. He meets Tan who is the default "leader" of their makeshift social club, the Senior Citizens` Corner. Loke, who is illiterate, comes to rely on Tan to read and write letters to and from Eileen; Tan finds solace in helping his new friend because he yearns for the same relationship with his estranged daughter. Tragedy strikes when Tan receives bad news about Eileen, and unable to tell Loke the devastating truth, he fabricates a lie that becomes full-blown deception.
