做為不被期望的次子，阿和把存在感放在逞凶鬥狠的揮拳瞬間。父母的心都放在哥哥阿豪身上，他為了考上第一志願而進了重考班，肩負起家中希望，心裡唯一的出口是重考班認識的女孩。一次挑釁事件，阿和與好友因砍傷人而被判入監，也砍斷父親與他的最後連結，這個家裡從此只剩一個兒子。麻煩並沒有因為阿和入獄而結束，挫折和悲劇接踵而來。家庭關係有時如利刃互相割傷，有時如良藥療舐傷口；若非走過蔭鬱幽谷，怎能迎來陽光普照？

鍾孟宏第五部劇情長片，強烈風格依舊，感情卻更飽滿溫柔。他關注靈魂中的陰暗角落，也揭露烈日當空無所閉藏的難耐，好與壞、善與惡，既是對照、也是互補。陳以文與柯淑勤把面臨崩解卻難以回天的父母心，演得絲絲入扣，感人肺腑。年輕一輩的巫建和、劉冠廷、許光漢、温貞菱，整齊搶眼的表現，亦不遑多讓。

The story is about an ordinary family of four. The father, A-Wen, is a driving instructor; the mother, Qin, is a hairdresser; the older brother, A-Hao, is a high school senior following his father's expectations, preparing for retaking his medical school entrance exams; the only member who seems problematic is the younger brother A-Ho, who has been "different" since he was a child.
