Synopsis:

Breaking through layers upon layers
Unearthing a corporation’s many layers of dark secrets!

The court prosecutes Tong Chi Ko (Steven Ma Chun Wai) for slander. After reforming his life, he joins a fashion corporation as a legal advisor. He becomes good friends with Tung Yat Jun (Ron Ng Cheuk Hei), the nephew of corporation head Tung Jin Lung (Ngok Wah). Ko encounters his first love, Tsui Wing (Bernice Liu Bik Yi), but discovers that her relationship with Lung is atypical. Lung’s wife, Kam Chi (Michelle Mai Suet), accidentally learns Jun’s life-changing secret and swears to set him into a deathtrap!

This time, Ko suspects that the fashion company isn’t simply engaged within the bounds of its business, but is furthermore involved with an international off-track betting activity. However, the truth of the matter causes people to be confused. Actually, who is the real person behind the scenes pulling strings?
