A crook visits a gloomy, snowbound town in northeast China bringing magic soap used to incapacitate the unaware so that he may rob them of money and property. A man is intent on re-uniting with his mother by meeting people through his religion. Two police officers set out to solve a case without any clues. A fake monk begins to work on the issue of solidarity through common pursuit. A forest ranger pursues a tree thief. In the midst of this, a murder takes place. Free and Easy is a farce in which crime is the new normal.

Free and Easy tells an absurd story set in a fictitious town in northeast China, where a bunch of hooligans chill and kill each other while hugging each other, caring and suspecting each other while fraternizing with each other. In the film, the police officers are kept busy capturing the criminals, the fraud deceiving for money, the forest ranger chasing the tree thief, the Christian believer looking for his lost mother, and the fake monk devoted to group unity, coincidently all come together and perform the story. The film is featured with typical dongbei style (literally, Northeast Chinese style) humor, full of twists and turns and magnificent mountains and rivers.
