Winson Cheuk (Gallen Lo) is a compulsive gambler who just returned to Hong Kong after a bout of bad luck and extreme debts in Toronto,Ontario,Canada. He was reunited with his childhood friend and neighbor,Abby Ching (Amy Kwok) who is disgusted with his gambling habits and laziness.
The Ching family had a dark secret that no one knows about. More than 20 years ago,Koo Yuk-mei (Suet Nei),was raped by Kam Shu-pui (Paul Chun). This resulted in the birth of Johnny Ching (Sunny Chan) whom Mei despise greatly. Growing up with his two sisters Abby and Mandy (Kathy Chow),Johnny never knew why his mother treated him badly ever since he was a child.
As fate would have it,Abby ended up working with Michael Kam (Felix Wong) who is the younger brother of Kam Shu-pui. At the same time,the sudden reemergence of Kelvin Kam (Nick Cheung),who is the son of Yuk-mei and her husband cleared away the mystery surrounding the Ching and Kam family:Yuk-mei's husband died shortly after giving birth to Kelvin and she could not afford to care for all her children. In an effort to make Kam Shu-pui pay for what he did to her and her family,she decided to switch Kelvin with Johnny when Yip Cho-chi (Pak Yan),Kam Shu-pui's wife comes to claim back the child.
The fact that Kelvin and Johnny's identities were switched was accidentally made known to Kelvin. Because he is used to the good life,Kelvin schemed to eliminate Johnny so that Johnny will not have the chance inherit the Kam family's properties. [1] [2]
