Tang Monk brings three disciples on a journey to the West. On the outside, everything seems harmonious. However, tension is present beneath the surface, and their hearts and minds are not in agreement.

Finally, they resolve their inner conflict and work together to become an all-conquering, demon-exorcising team.
