Sing (Ekin) and Kit
(Savio) are old time buddies who grew up together. Sing is a policeman
who is on a verge of being bored out of his mind, so he applies
for a position in CID to pursue more challenging life. Kit on
the other hand is a highly ambitious lawyer getting somewhere
in his career.
Kit's ex-girlfriend is Kwan (Maggie) who works as a prosecutor.
After Sing gets accepted into CID, he tries to bring down a drug
lord Sum (Jimmy) who has been convicted continuously. Everytime
Kwan tries to prosecute Sum, she is blocked by Kit's dirty defense.
Kit is actually trying to ask for Kwan's forgiveness for whatever
reason they broke up for, but naturally going against her out
in a public court wouldn't do much to his favor.
Sing's girlfriend
is Mun (Leung Pui Wu) who has been and is strongly against Sing
being in CID. When Sing hesitates to drop out, she angrily leaves
to New Zealand by herself, not setting any definite future. Later
when she comes back she tries to get back together with him but
by then, Sing has already been close to Kwan and things seem pretty
hopeless.
Sing's colleague is Fai (Alex) who gets emotional very easily
and acts rashly at many times. Fai first dislikes Sing and doesn't
cooperate with him but later they get pretty close. Fai's uncle
gets badly injured by Sum's gang and Fai's girlfriend, Candy (Chan
Mui Hing), tries to help him earn enough money for the surgery
by gambling. She loses all her money in turn and Sum offers to
help her out in return for a favor. Candy testifies for Sum's
innocence in court for what she owes, and Sum is off the hook
again. Fai gets injured during a shootout with Sum's mafia and
eventually driven out of the force as it is revealed that he suffers
from epilepsy. He later works for the master evil but a seemingly
kind-hearted businessman Ho (Lam Seung Mo) and eventually dies
in the end trying to protect Ho after he is convicted.

Kit is hired to work as Ho's lawyer for some time being, getting
Ho out of many unlawful deeds. This worsens Kit's relationship
with his friend Sing and mostly, Kwan. Kit succeeds in winning
the heart of Lai (Cheung Fong Nei) who happens to be Ho's younger
sister, to upgrade his status. Lai strongly believes that Kit
is in love with her but when she finds out later that Kit's love
interest is only Kwan in reality, she shoots him and makes him
go paralyzed from his waist down (Poor Sav T_T). She later shows
up at Sing & Kwan's marriage and creates a scene and tries
to kill Kwan but guess what happens with all of Sing's cop friends
there... la la la.
Jimmy as Sum was a...
...very messed up character who messed up many people's lives,
mostly Fai's. Serves him right that he gets killed by his boss
Ho later. Tsk tsk. With the kind of role like a drug lord, who
would've ever known him as a heroic figure in the series like
The Grand Canal...although I must say, him in pursuit of Candy
was quite funny.
Note: Ekin and Maggie were purposely casted together in
this series by TVB after openly admitting that they were dating.
They were one of the most celebrated couples in the 90's until
their breakup in '99. Click on their wedding pic below.. not for
reals of course, in the series! =D
