With the lithium market in a dip, UA Capital Investment Banking, led by hotshot managing director Derek Lee (Stanley Huang), brokers a merger offer to Brandon Mining, one of the world’s big three lithium producers along with Anchor Exploration and Clayton Global. Investigative journalist Henry Ma (Aarif Lee), who runs financial blog Golden Touch, gets wind of the plan and makes it public.UA’s client is believed to be Anchor, and Brandon’s CEO Owen (Michael Wong) considers it a hostile takeover. His financial advisor is Derek’s onetime lover, Amy Liang (Xu Jinglei), associate managing director of Global Alliance Investment Banking, who finally split up with Derek while on holiday together in Australia 10 months ago, frustrated by his workaholism. Amy’s old friend Rebecca (Gigi Leung), who works on Derek’s team, advises her not to do battle with Derek, for her own good, but Amy ignores her advice.
