In the public relations (PR) industry, "the three musketeers" Sheldon Chun (Bosco Wong), Sean Fung Chik-yin (Edwin Siu) and Tim Yau (Louis Cheung) are known for their sharp wit and ability to defuse PR crises. As owners of their PR company, The Rainmakers, they often rub elbows with upper-class people. Sean re-encounters his ex-girlfriend Max Koo Sing-sheung (Priscilla Wong) and reconciles with her. Motivated by greed and ambition to make it to the top, Sheldon befriends Sing-sheung, who is the illegitimate child of real estate mogul Koo Fuk-sang (Pat Poon).
