Plot
editThe drama follows the Lim family and some residents of an old Tampines Grove condominium of the consequences of having their estate up for an en bloc sale for redevelopment. Every episode explores the dynamics of family relationships, the unfolding of family secrets and how they are affected and influenced by the wealth.
