Inbound Troubles

老表,你好嘢!

Aiming to become the best tour guide in the industry, Ng Ka-yee sets up a travel agency with his girlfriend Szema Shuk-ching but he goes bankrupt and owes a huge debt after being cheated by others. Ka-yee wishes to pass the last few months of bankruptcy peacefully and start a new chapter with Shuk-ching after marriage. However, Shuk-ching falls in love with his best friend Ching Siu-shan and Ka-yee is devastated. During this time, Ka-yee runs into the newly immigrated social worker Yik Suet-fei, his Dongguan cousin Choi Sum who dreams to be a singer in Hong Kong and the old singer Monrole who is looking for free meals everywhere. In addition, his younger sister Ng Chi-ching also returns to Hong Kong by lying to him that she has completed her master's degree in Taiwan already. Different cultures and lifestyles between Hong Kong and mainland China create family farce every day.
