The Homecoming (TV series)

Dong Weihong returns to Singapore from the US with his nine-year-old son, Ryan. He catches up with his old buddies Chen Hanyuan, Lai Quoqiang and Huang Zhenfa to reminisce their past friendships. Weihong, who is currently unemployed, helps out in Zhenfa's automobile business while Hanyuan is a successful lawyer and Guoqiang earns a living by being a professional "scapegoat" for criminals. Before long, old feelings of betrayal start brewing among them when they recall their past.

The four friends were convicted of arson and sentenced to imprisonment and caning several years ago. Weihong, Guoqiang and Zhenfa each received three strokes of the cane while Hanyuan received four strokes. He was the one who instigated his friends to commit arson and that effectively made him the mastermind. However, no one else will know the truth unless one of his three friends have betrayed him during the investigation. Hanyuan is deeply traumatised by the experience and vowed to find out who betrayed him. In order to take his revenge, Hanyuan resorts to unscrupulous means and causes harm to those around him.

A complex love relationship develops between Hanyuan, Sessy, Weihong and Qianyi. Qianyi is a childhood friend of Weihong and has been in love with him for a long time but Weihong does not reciprocate. Hanyuan and Sessy are married and Weihong's return threatens their marriage as Sessy still has some feelings for Weihong. As his mind slowly deranges, Hanyuan begins to suspect his wife and Weihong and believes that Weihong is the one who betrayed him.
