Charles Cheuk, one of the founders of the law firm Donald & Co., has chaired the committee for an extended period. Despite his promise to his managing partner KC Lau to step down, Charles decided to bring in a new partner, Kent Cheung, who has a strong focus on financial matters. This move was made in hopes of balancing KC's increasing desire for control within the firm. KC had established a significant presence during his time at Donald & Co., working alongside skilled lawyers Duncan Yam and Martha Fong. On the other hand, Kent only had Patricia Lee and Nick Chau to rely on. KC believed he held the advantage in their power struggle. However, a sudden traffic accident changed the dynamics, allowing Kent to seize an opportunity. Charles offered Kent a lucrative promotion to senior partner, further intensifying the rivalry between the two. Meanwhile, Kent formed a close mentor-student bond with assistant solicitor Hazel Cheuk. As KC felt his influence slipping away, he became increasingly volatile. The power struggle took an unexpected turn when a previously underestimated opponent emerged, seeking revenge.
