Roaming around the streets of Singapore Alvin bumps into Alice who works as a sugar baby. They begin to chat and Alvin gets introduced to the world of Sugar Daddies and Babies. He becomes famous amongst them as an old man who can’t go home and pays money to just talk and walk. The film traces his conversations with a Singaporean chinese lady, an Indian lady and a transgender Malay woman through a few nights as he grapples with being able to finally go back home.
