A group of students who are participating in a university's summer science camp are drawn into an incredible quagmire of conflicts, ranging from the relatively simple conflict between an engaging and forthright young teacher and his older manipulative colleague, to a contest pitting political correctness against free scientific inquiry. Despite the murkiness of some of the issues in the latter conflict, the students pitch in enthusiastically on what they believe to be the side of righteousness, and passions rise to fever pitch. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide。顾菲（王茜华饰）是一家酒店的领班，儿子尚且年幼，婆婆重病产生，丈夫又遭到裁员，即便生活非常的艰难，但是顾菲依然十分乐观，并且深深的爱着自己的家庭。然而，上天并没有眷顾顾菲的坚强，在一场车祸中，丈夫不幸去世了。 刚开始，顾菲发誓一定要将这场车祸的罪魁祸首秦志友（马跃饰）送进监狱，但最终，迫于生活的压力，顾菲还是接受了庭外和解，并且得到了三十万元的赔偿金。顾菲所在的酒店被兼并了，她丢掉了工作，与此同时，她亦发现自己身患绝症，直到此时，顾菲才知道，原来丈夫早就得知自己的病情了，而那笔赔偿金，就是丈夫用自己的生命为她换来的救命钱。。
