Decadent, bar, whoring, horse betting, debt collection, bank debt. This is the first impression of the old man Vincent.

Wake up to welcome a new neighbor, a mother and son, their first meeting is not pleasant.

The boy who had just transferred was bullied by his classmates on the first day, and his mobile wallet keys were taken away. After returning home, he had no choice but to wait at Vincent's house. The mother asked Vincent to help take care of the boy overtime, and Vincent agreed to charge for the boy.

After Vincent picked up the boy from school and saw the boy being bullied, he scolded the naughty child away and taught the boy to fight back.

Vincent took the boy to the bar and bet on horses. He was lucky. Vincent took the boy to the nursing center to visit his wife, who has lost her memory.

The boy was bullied again at school. This time he chose to fight back. The counterattack succeeded. He was called the parent and reconciled with his classmates.

Vincent was unable to pay for his wife's hospitalization expenses. He arbitrarily took out the boy's last horse gambling money and went to the racecourse to gamble. Of course, gambling will not always have good luck. Vincent was once again debt-collected and suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital. The boy and his mother helped him with recovery training.

The boy's father sued for custody. The fact that Vincent took the boy to the bar and horse farm before became evidence against his mother. Eventually the boy was raised by his parents.

The mother was very angry and condemned Vincent, but Vincent just pointed out that she was the mother and did not fully fulfill her responsibility.

Vincent's wife died, and he could not even see his wife for the last time. The boy saw Vincent's sadness.

I'm sorry for you loss. This is what people usually say to someone who has lost a loved one, because we don't know what to say. Why not ask him what kind of person he was before? What are you going to do in the future?

The strippers that Vincent had previously interacted with came to take care of Vincent's daily life, which was also charged.

The court's decision was actually not that bad. For the boy, it was his father after all.

The school requires students to do the topic, looking for the saints around, will give a formal speech.

The boy chose Vincent as his saint.

He learned about Vincent from his girlfriend, bars, and hospital nurses.

On the day of the speech, the boy's parents, Vincent and his girlfriend, friends, and nurses all came to the scene. The boy recounted what he had learned about Vincent, his shortcomings, his past achievements, his getting along with his wife and the bits and pieces in the process of getting along. He would like to think of Vincent as a saint.

Maybe each of us is a saint.
