In the 1920's, a large family run Kwong Wan Ship Company has a storm brewing...

As the third heir and owner of the Kwong Wan Ship Company, Chow Ming Hin (Damian Lau) bears a pressure that cannot be understood by others. To the outside world, he has to face with competition from his peers; internally, he has to deal with the family struggles for power. Even though his wife Lee Tak Yung (Lui San) cannot help him to bear his heavy burden. In the Chow family, only the servant Ng Yuk Hing (Angie Chiu) can truly help Hin and he wants to take her as his second wife. However, before Hing can enter the family, there is news that the wedding has been called off.

Chow Tin Chi (Julian Cheung) goes against his mother Yung's opposition and falls in love with Ho Seung Hei (Charmaine Sheh) who comes from a poor background. When something happens to Hin, Chi has to learn to look after the business. With little life experience, will he be able to face up to his devious uncles?
