), has been a chairman of its committee for many years. Though he had promised his managing partner KC Lau (

) that he would step down, Charles hires the money-minded lawyer Kent Cheung ( Alex Fong) as a new partner for the firm, hoping that he would be able to counterbalance KC’s growing obsession for authority. KC had built up great influence in his years with Donald & Co. His associates include the abled lawyers Duncan Yam ( Raymond Cho) and Martha Fong ( Mandy Wong). With Patricia Lee ( Florence Kwok) and Nick Chau ( Matthew Ho) as Kent’s only strongsuits, KC assumed he had the upper edge in their game of power. However, a traffic accident catches KC off guard, and Kent takes advantage of the situation. He gets himself a lucrative offer from Charles, who promotes Kent to senior partner. During this time, Kent re-encounters assistant solicitor Hazel Cheuk ( Ali Lee), and they develop a close mentor-student friendship. Feeling his power ebbing away, KC becomes a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. But while fighting for control, a toothless tiger comes out from under the radar, ready to seek revenge.
