Synopsis

The Hong Kong Police Force Traffic Branch is divided into two departments. The Enforcement and Control Unit（E&C）is in charge of enforcing traffic laws and arresting those who break them while the Accident Investigation Division (AI) investigates traffic related accidents.

To Cheuk-fung (Kenny Wong) is the Inspector In-charge of the E&C Unit. His stern and cold appearance makes him an awkward character to work with and is also unapproachable to his subordinates, but his dedication and demand in his job also makes his family life non-existent. When the former Police Commissioner's daughter Bui Sam-jou (Sisley Choi), who everyone calls Bui Baby, is assigned to his unit and put under his supervision he is not afraid to lecture her when he thinks she has done wrong even though all other senior ranking officers are afraid to offend her due to respect for her father. Bui Baby is dedicated and, wanting to show her full potential, takes To Sir's comments seriously to improve herself. After seeing Bui Baby's passion and commitment to her job, and her being the only one not afraid to approach him when he is down, the two form a mentor and protege relationship.

To Sir's other problems are his former subordinate Sze Ma (Benjamin Yuen) has just been promoted to Inspector in the AI division. Sze Ma's odd behavior often is misunderstood and offends other people. Due to his behavior the E&C team thinks he has forgotten about them now that he is with AI, causing a slight rivalry between the two divisions.

However Sze Ma is also very dedicated to his job and often only sleeps a few hours a day while trying to solve cases. It also makes his life non-social which results to him talking to a toy basketball he named Jason as if it was a real person. He notices that his new subordinate Yiu Yiu (Natalie Tong) who has been a dedicated officer with a great reputation for her photographic memory, no longer gives her full potential at work and always leaves on time due to the haunting memory of her parents' deaths. Wanting to help her get past the tragedy and to push her to her former self, Sze Ma uses odd tactics that end up offending her. Yiu Yiu, who can't stand Sze Ma, doesn't know that he has fallen in love with her while working closely with her, with even Sze Ma himself scared of these feelings at first since Yiu Yiu doesn't fit his usual tall and long leg type.
