Synopsis:

Sophisticated banker Cheuk Yat Yuen (Ray Lui) mistakes con artist Sa Fu Loi (Gallen Lo) for his half brother Cheuk Yat Ming, fortuitously elevating the swindler to one of the leading figures in the banking industry. The lost and found brotherhood has blinded Yuen to Fu’s real nature and intentions.

Yuen is kidnapped overseas by a group of rioters. He undergoes a dramatic personality change after the incident. Yuen’s wife Ho Tseuk Nin (Jamie Chik) has tried her best to console him but still cannot help him get over the unpleasant experience. Longing for more comfort and support, Yuen gets back with his ex-lover Tung Ling Chi (Kenix Kwok). Nin is heartbroken to learn about the affair and it has left the broken mirror that can’t be mended.

The identity of Cheuk Yat Ming gives Fu not only a sense of family warmth but also a sweet taste of romance. He finds himself in love with Yuen’s little sister Cheuk Yat Sum (Anita Yuen). Sum is attracted to Fu too but thinking that they are true biological siblings, she decides to keep her love under wraps and stays with her long-term admirer Ko Tok Man (Joe Ma) instead. This comes as a huge blow to Fu. He is not willing to lose his love, but neither can he reveal his real identity. Caught up in the dilemma between love and money, Fu finally chooses the fortune road of no return.

It is all about a tough battle for money, a devious triangle of love, and a severe challenge to ethics.
