As he tries to come to terms with what he’s learnt, he inherits a large sum of money and is faced with a major decision - stay with the family he’s known all his life or leave and become a family of one.To help with his decision, Ricky travels to The Philippines and back to Singapore but he’s not just on a trip down memory lane.
