In the early 1970s with penniless Chinese businessman Ching Yat-yin (starring Tony Leung) arriving in Hong Kong in search of a fresh start. Floundering as an engineer, Ching finds his calling when he helps real estate developer Tsang Kim-kiu (starring Simon Yam) close a deal by posing as a cash-flush entrepreneur to put pressure on a hesitant potential buyer. From there, Ching rapidly builds an empire under the banner of the Carmen Group.
By the early 1980s, he is synonymous with the Hong Kong economy and deemed a master of investing. However, when a small stock market crash points to irregularities, senior Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigator Lau Kai-yuen (starring Andy Lau) aims to prosecute Ching. Unfortunately, key figures in the case keep disappearing in suspicious circumstances.
