This film tells the story of the temple being planned as a scenic spot, the master leaves, the fake monk is in charge, and the confused monk He Shuangquan chooses to go back to the vulgar and adapt to the society. Old friends brought him into the world, tasted all the wine and taste, and the precepts were broken one by one. Faith was shocked because of desire, and the people around him had no choice but to deal with beliefs and values.
