Zhen Bang, a convicted murderer, is released from jail and struggles to find a job. You Yi, owner of hotpot restaurant "Hui Tou Lu" (which means second chances), admires Zhen Bang’s character and offers him a job, even though he has a phobia of knives. When You Yi passes away suddenly as a result of saving his troublemaker son, Zi Cheng, from a fight with a gang, Zi Cheng is forced to take over "Hui Tou Lou" from his father. However, the business begins to fail in Zi Cheng's hands, and he ends up in prison when he commits arson in an act of revenge for his father's death. Zhen Bang bites the bullet and rallies everyone to raise enough funds to buy over “Hui Tou Lu”. Together with the other ex-convict employees, they work hard to save the restaurant's reputation, and Zhen Bang slowly overcomes his own phobia. When Zi Cheng is eventually released from prison, he returns to the restaurant a changed man and requests that Zhen Bang let him work there. Together, they transform the hopeless hotpot restaurant into a heartwarming place that satisfies their diners’ desire for good food just like You Yi intended, while healing themselves and finding their purpose in life.
