Overview
Police Constable LUI TO (WONG CHUNG CHAK, BOSCO) is shocked to discover that TSU FUNG (CHAN KIN FUNG, SAMMUL), who has reportedly gone missing for a year, is already dead and that his body has been claimed by his girlfriend LAM PING (TSUI KATE TSZ SHAN). Then, suddenly and mysteriously, FUNG, who is believed to be dead, turns up again, which makes the enigma even more intriguing. The relationship between PING and FUNG is also put to the test amidst such confusion. It is in fact a conspiracy by PING’s stepmother and a conman. TO begins to investigate the mystery, which nonetheless places him in great danger and causes him to lose his job. Fortunately, he has YAN YUET-MUI (YEUNG SZE-KI, SHIRLEY), his childhood friend, by his side to help him through his darkest days. PING’s family have become entangled in a series of mishaps ever since her marriage to FUNG. What she doesn’t know is that eight members of MAO TAI’s (CHAN HUNG LIT) con gang have already infiltrated the LAM family…
