Synopsis
editMay Tam (Kristal Tin) who has low moral consciousness takes the rap for her boyfriend who has committed a crime. After serving her sentence, Matthew Ko (Roger Kwok), a lawyer helps her start afresh by giving her a job at his law firm. Ko initially had a bright future but was crushed when rookie police officer Cheung Lap Fan (Ron Ng) accidentally injures him while on a mission, causing Ko to need to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. At the same time, this creates an opportunity for the two to break the law. As Ko's hidden conspiracies are exposed, Cheung harbors him out of guilt. Eventually, will Tam be able to make the right choice between love and morality?
