The series revolves around a fictional Hong Kong Senior Counsel named Tony Tseung (蔣文滔). Senior Counsel Tseung is well known for winning 31 legal cases in a row, but is also notorious in legal circles for his unsavory (but ethical nonetheless) tactics. He is also notorious for being retained as counsel by unscrupulous businessman Richard Ngai (倪承坤). His focus on his legal career has also alienated family member and anyone romantically involved. His daughter, Stephanie, particularly hates him for not only his modus operand in legal battles (strike a victory on procedural errors, and not on evidence).
All this changed when Tony Tseung was dealt a career blow by Richard Ngai. In an assault case involving Richard Ngai, Ngai went over Tseung, and asked his pupil, Darren Lee, to conspire in a conspiracy to bribe a witness and have him lie in court by professing amnesia. When Tseung protested, Ngai fired Tseung, and cut off much of the businesses that came to Tseung's chamber (law firm). In the process, Tseung lost his girlfriend, Sophie So (蘇若菲), to Richard Ngai. Tseung drowned his sorrows in alcohol, and assaulted a foreigner at a bar. Tseung pled guilty to assault, and was sentenced to community service. That was where he began to rediscover the lost idealism and righteousness of his youth.
