A weekly 5-minute satirical drama produced for RTHK's Wham Bam Tram!
When an unfathomable accident causes a decorated Hong Kong cop and a "carboard granny" to swap bodies, the city looks very different to both of them.
Lady Lim is an elderly woman, collecting cardboard to survive.
Officer Davina Veda is a heroic cop whose career lies in the balance of Hong Kong politics.
Restoring their lives will take everything they've got... if they can even agree to help each other.
