Based on real life stories, the plot revolves around the problems faced by gambling addicts, how their actions harm loved ones, and how they overcome barriers to seek help. The drama performance is approximately 30 minutes in length, including an interactive quiz at the end of the segment. From August 2008 to June 2009, they will be performing for senior citizens at no cost. Senior organisations who are interested to feature the show can contact D’Rama Arts at drama@pacific.net.sg
