台東聖賢宮，一間小廟，兩名練八家將的少年，日常的生活樣貌。影片藉由幾個練將少年在廟裡參與八家將活動和現實生活的遭遇，來觀看台東的生活環境、廟堂的八家將文化，甚至黑道生態。扮成家將便成為神明，卸下神明的裝扮，則回歸少年的身份，導演近身跟拍練將少年，紀錄他們這一年中的轉變，不加旁白詮釋，也不做價值判斷。

In southeastern Taiwan, the Taitung County is famous for its Lantern Festival culture. The film picks a small temple and records the traditional ritual of “Eight Song Commanders” by two teen performers. Through their performance and daily experiences, we’re able to understand Taitung, the temple subculture and even the gangsters. The ritual of “Eight Song Commanders” is to guard and pray for our people, but why do many of us have bad impressions of these teens?
