synopsis
The problems of life in the whirl of a modern city are dissected in this atypical Hong Kong drama that emphasizes human relationships and character development. After she is successfully established in an ad agency, a young woman takes in her sister-in-law from the mainland as a gesture of help and friendship. The sister-in-law is waiting to sign off on a divorce and is soon converted into a Hong Kong shark who is after both cash and a position in the world. This is disturbing enough, but when the career woman hears that her parents have died in an automobile accident, her values and expectations of what she wants for herself undergo a drastic alteration.
