13 years ago, the Abe family moved to a town in the suburbs, surrounded by nature. The Abe family consists of their French father Toma (De Lencquesaing Nozomi), his Japanese wife Mikiko (Rinko Kikuchi) and their beautiful daughter Yuko (Kanon Tani). They appear like the perfect family. Mikiko managed to get her daughter Yuko to take part in a CM audition and she was picked by Murano (Joe Odagiri), director of the advertising agency. Yuko is now in show business. Several years later, Yuko (Nana Komatsu) transfers to a large entertainment company. As her mother wishes, Yuko is now popular and appears on the cover of magazines, variety shows and drama series. Yuko, though, feels an uncomfortable imbalance between her public image and her real self. During this time, she meets a dancer, Seiko (Mackenyu), who marches to the beat of his own drum, and falls in love with him. The nightmare begins.

Three years ago, the drama tutor Lam Hiu-Yeung's brother was kidnapped and killed. The case was handled by Inspector Madem Ho Yuen Chun, who is known for her sharp wit and intelligence, but was unfortunately unable to save Lam Hiu-Yeung's brother in the end. Now Lam Hiu-Yeung faces the horror of losing her husband, Liu Quian, who has cancer. While trying to find a means to get the money to pay for his medical expenses abroad, Lam Hiu-Yeung recalls how the Police handled her brother's kidnap; and feeling desperate and helpless, she decides to risk it all and plan a kidnap for some quick ransom money. Her target is Tycoon Wong Sam's seven-year-old son, opening a case that is also handled by Inspector Madem Ho Yuen Chun. Strangely to Ho Yuen Chun, the kidnappers seem to be able to predict the Police's every move, turning the negotiation process into a psychological battlefield. As the Police periodically lose track of the kidnappers involved, they don't realize that they are in fact getting closer to find out the true identity of the criminals. Finally, just as the truth is about to be revealed, Ho Yuen Chun discovers that the hostage is in fact her own son, Ho-yin. As the pressure becomes too much for Ho Yuen Chun, she begins to lose her mind, driving her to use desperate measures and risk her career in order to solve the case once and for all.
