According to his father's will, they must reside together in their father's dilapidated home for nine months before selling it. Initially, none of Foon's siblings - Bou Yan, Anthony Bou, and Bou Yee - agreed to the arrangement until they discovered the considerable value of their late father's property. As the eldest sibling, Foon had been disrespected by his younger brothers and sister for leaving the family at a young age to pursue his own path instead of assisting them. However, following their father's passing, Foon came to comprehend the significance of his father's words about the strength of unity. Upon relocating to their father's apartment, Foon encountered an elderly couple named Bak Wah and Yi Lan, who were watching TV on his couch when he opened an old umbrella. The couple claimed to be his neighbors, though Foon and his young niece appeared to be the only ones who could see them, as other neighbors stated that the adjacent unit had been vacant for years. Foon realized that the Baks were spirits when he witnessed Bak Wah retrieving his watch by leaping off the building unharmed and reappearing behind him. Foon crossed paths with a certified electrician named Chu Chan-chan, who approached him in the middle of the night after hearing about a fire caused by electrical issues in the building.
