Dashwood Howe must find joy and purpose in life again after being abandoned by his own family. But how can he find that desire despite being hurt along the way?
***
After he was abandoned by his own parents, Dashwood Howe is now homeless and is forced to spend the night in the streets. When he woked up the next day, he found himself on a room in an unfamiliar place where he met a man who's claiming that his family had an unpaid debt that they need to pay. To his shock, the debt wasn't paid for a very long time. What's more shocking is that, the man offered him to work for him so that he can pay the debt on behalf of his family. Now, Dashwood is stuck between two things: accept the offer or not. If yes, then he'll endure another lifetime of hardships. If not, then his family would go to jail. Determined to choose the right thing, can Dashwood really find meaning in his life despite everything that had and will happen, or will he just the same person from the past? Will he be able to choose the right decision and stand on it, or will he choose something that he might regret later on his life and ultimately his own self?
