Lynn and Suyin both have good reason to hate Ambrose Carson. When nine wealthy Chinese businessmen include Ambrose in their investment plans, Suyin is nominated to act as their intermediary. But she is secretly driven by events of the past, and Ambrose finds that getting the funds together for the planned investment does not run smoothly. Ambrose needs a few million more to match the Chinese investors and plans to short sell Domtech International shares after he has disposed of it's CEO, Dominic Dawson. When he instructs his hired thug to kill Dominic, the result is not one that he could have foreseen, and not one that he has any control over. Lynn, meanwhile is making plans for the eventual showdown, unaware that Suyin has a secret agenda of her own.
