Synopsis
When Lui To (Bosco Wong) was just a child, he and another girl, Yan Yuet (Shirley Yeung), were kidnapped on the same day by an organization which kidnapped children in order to sell and exploit for labour. He and Yan Yuet were able to escape with the help of Lo Sei Leung, a woman who worked for the organization but had wanted to leave them for a long time.

On the run from the organization, the three become a family of sorts and live day to day on the money earned from Lo Sei Leung's cons, much to the displeasure of Lui To. Lui To's adamantly honest ways and naive sense of justice gets the better of them when Yan Yuet ends up with a fever; since Lui To had given the last of their money to a begger, they accept medicine from a seedy medicine seller which leaves Yan Yuet mute.

Many years later, Lui To becomes a police officer while Yan Yuet attends school and plays the violin. Lui To falls in love with a wealthy girl, Laam Ping (Kate Tsui), but is disappointed to discover she is in love with Tsui Fung (Sammul Chan), a con artist. He is unaware that Yan Yuet has a crush on him, seeing her only as a younger sister. In order to protect Laam Ping, Lui To investigates Tsui Fung and discovers his dark past. Though he is unable to stop Laam Ping from marrying Tsui Fung, he must try and save her from becoming another victim of Tsui Fung's cons.
