Summary: (Warning! Spoilers!)
At the beginning, there are two customs teams. One was led by Liza and her co-workers were Jade, Fiona, Mak, and some other cast. They are working together to check a ship out because they believed it contained illegal gasoline. They were correct and one of the outlaws threatened to light his cigarette lighter, which would cause everyone on the ship to die if it exploded with the gas. However, Liza kicked up a plastic cloth in the air, making the outlaw fall and he was caught. After returning to their workplace, she congratulated the team for their great performance and told them she had to go to Macau for a conference. When she was on the verge of returning to Hong Kong, she saw Jessica's ability of working with a suspect well, so she decides to transfer Jessica to her team. (Sidenote, Liza is Jessica's aunt and Liza is Jessica's role model.)
Jessica is now transferred into Liza's custom department. She also planned to move back to Hong Kong, and surprisingly enough, her family's neighbor is Wong Hei and his dad. His dad is also the president of the apartment building and when Wong Hei's dad and Jessica's mom met, they didn't get along. Wong Hei kind of gave Jessica the cold shoulder when she saw that his dad got a cut on his finger and gave him a bandaid. When Jessica arrived at her new workplace, she finds out that Wong Hei is also transferred there as the captain. He used to be a CID, but he shot and killed a man and couldn't take the guilt, so he quits. This is also the reason why he's pretty much a loner.
After the first case, Liza talked to Wong Hei that he should be more of a team player than a loner, comparing him to coffee, because he only drinks black. During the next case, he was nicer. Jessica and Fiona were chasing a suspect who jabbed Jessica with a needle. The suspect has AIDS. So she took a break from work and stayed at the hospital to test if she was infected. Everyone, including her family and Liza's family, was trying to make her feel better telling her she won't get AIDS. She made herself look strong and confident in front of them, until they leave. She ran outside the hospital and cried, Wong Hei saw this and tried to comfort her. He took her swimming, saying it will reduce stress--it worked. When they got the test results, Jessica and Wong Hei hugged because the results of her getting AIDS was negative. So Liza had a barbecue party to celebrate and there, Liza found out that Wong Hei has changed because he was adding sugar and cream to his coffee. Jessica though, thought her aunt didn't like her because she didn't let Jessica do anything serious when they took action except putting the caution labels up so no civilians can enter.
When Jessica saw a motorcycle model in a store, she wanted to buy one for Wong Hei. She saw William Cho, (Wong Hei's brother who is with their mom after their parents separated) with the one she wants, which was the last one and he gave it to her. William seems to like Jessica very much for her personality because of this. They saw each other very soon because Wong Hei invited her to a race, which includes his bother, his mom and dad was also there. Jessica saw that Wong Hei was getting annoyed because his mom wanted to introduced him to this girl, so he and Jessica pretends to be a couple. It didn't fool William though. Well that night, Jessica and Wong Hei became an item :).
Soon, Liza transferred Jessica to a new team and she again thinks that her aunt don't want to let her do a good job. Wong Hei knows that Liza is just trying to train Jessica, but he promised not to tell. The place where Jessica was transferred, required her to work with dogs (I believed one of the dogs was her own) and one her teammates was Joyce. Mak was soon transferred there too, and he thought that Joyce like him, so he made a move to woo her. Apparently, he was mistaken. Jade (Jade Leung) was also depressed because her brother-in-law, who she has a crush on, gave her a sign that she should find someone else, so she met Mak and drank a lot of beers. The next morning they were in bed together after being drunk, and apparently they did it because she was pregnant. He agreed to married her, and at first, she didn't agree because she didn't want him to do this for the baby, but eventually she agreed and because of the marriage, they did love each other for real.
About the same time, Jessica and Wong Hei broke up because they both thought that they were too similar, they were both high-tempered for example. He later went with Shirley. She is the daughter of a dad who is gay and was killed by Wong Hei when he was a CID. She's very insecure but Wong Hei broke this part of her and loved her very much. William Cho also made a move on Jessica and they were dating too, but during their dating, his mom didn't like Jessica that much because of a misunderstanding. So she broke up with him later on and he went out with Joyce after a time. Shirley left when her mom was killed but Wong Hei still loves her, until he saw her one day using drugs. He and Jessica tried to help her, but she says she can't, she says that she has AIDS, she can't live much longer. Wong Hei stayed by her side until she died (very sad).
Later on, Jade's sister, Melissa, came back wanting to have her relationship back with Danny after she left him 8 years ago because she had a miscarriage and she can't have babies anymore. But, Liza was also in the running after all. Danny was there to help her writing Chinese calligraphy, and when both her parents passed away, he was also there. He ended up choosing Liza (married her). Melissa wasn't angry at the decision, she stayed in HK and befriends them and stays with Jade, helping her since Jade was pregnant.
The next case deals with a lot of cocaine being ship to Hong Kong. When they were investigating, Queenie was taken hostage and Wong Hei told her to trust him. She did, so she pulled away from the suspect and Wong Hei took a gun shot, and it hits Queenie. She died and the suspect died too because Jackie shot him. The whole team was really sad, especially Jade because they were best friends, but she didn't have a bad impression of Wong Hei because of this. However, Wong Hei felt the same thing when he shot Shirley's dad, so he told the chief of customs he wanted to be an underdog to investigate the case. This was private, so only that captain knows. He acted like a jerk and everything, and everyone hated him. He was with the gang, and there he finds that Danny is there too. Danny was forced because one of the people had evidence of him accidentally killed his mom when he was young (she was a whore). On the mission, Wong Hei had to hit Jessica and his dad to proved this, which was really hard for him to do this. The killer Jackie liked Wong Hei, and he knows he have to get to her, so he slept with her (Jessica saw this too, he saw Jessica at a corner and he kissed Jackie). After they slept with each other, the next morning Jackie saw that her stuff wasn't in the right place and became suspicious of Wong Hei.
As time grew, the case was almost done, and his identity was revealed. Melissa was caught because she knows their secret and Jackie tries to make Danny kill her. He couldn't do this and Wong Hei saw that she was suffering, so he killed her. Danny was caught and he went to jail. Everyone else was dead except Jackie and she told Wong Hei she's going to come and kill him and everyone around him. Everyone thinks he's just over thinking, but Jackie planted a gas that would've killed them, but luckily Wong Hei saves them in time. Wong Hei and William decides to make their parents and Liza's parent go on a vacation to get away from danger, but before they went on an airplane, Wong Hei's dad went to the bathroom for a long time. They had a feeling that he might be in danger so Wong Hei and William chased Jackie and she put their dad on a rope and dropped him, so he suffocated and died, Jackie left the scene.
The next day Wong Hei and Jessica were marrying, but Jackie caught Jessica and tied her to a pole in the sea. Wong Hei came, and he and Jackie ate all the pills in a bottle that help them shoot more accurately. They both took some shots at each other on different boats. Wong Hei saw that Jessica was almost drowning so he shot the rope off, but at the same time, Jackie shot him and he fell in the water. Jessica screamed and untied herself. Jackie was about to shoot her too, but Wong Hei popped up taking one shot and it killed Jackie. At the end, Wong Hei fell in the water too, and Jessica went searching for him as the customs are coming. (This ending wasn't necessary saying that Wong Hei died, it's just a cliffhanger, so if the series gets high ratings it will have a sequel).
PS I do not own this serie.
