This story revolves around the household of Bibik Alice Oei. After the demise of her husband, she had to single handedly raised her family. She has a son and longed to have a grandson to help continue the family line as well as the business.

Her son, Roy and his wife Nelly have been married for many years but have not been successful in starting a family. The Matriarch decides to take the matter into her own hands and adopts a boy named Tommy. Soon after, Roy and Nelly had a son named Robert and a daughter named Daisy.

The kids grow up but Nelly doesn't regard Tommy as part of the family. The household becomes a daily place of feud between the spoilt Robert and his sister Daisy who always empathises with Tommy.

It takes a major turn of events in the home before the family finds out the importance of kinship, humility, love, honesty, moral courage and reconciliation.
