After suffering a number of disasters, including losing his job, having his savings wiped out and facing his father's high medical bills, Gao Zhilei (Xu Zheng) takes up a job as a delivery worker, dealing with long days and stomach-turning events. Amongst crazy customers, tight deadlines and competition among app companies, he manages to form strong bonds with his fellow workers. But in his quest for success, he must face a choice: keep the new friendships he's created or move to the next level in his new career by taking advantage of the new business world where he finds himself.

Benar2 film yang memberikan banyak pelajaran hidup, memberikan inspirasi untuk tetap bertahan hidup di tengah kejamnya dunia, untuk tetap terus berjuang, untuk tetap tidak putus harapan. Dan film ini juga menegaskan betapa pentingnya keluarga sbagai support system bagi orang2 yg sedang down agar ia bisa cepat bangkit dan melanjutkan hidup dgn tetap semangat. Bagus ditonton untuk semua kalangan. Akting para pemainnya very stunning, alur ceritanya juga sangat menarik. Good job
