The Fixers is a secret underground organization that for the right price will solve any problems for their clients no matter if it is legal or not.
The group is led by ex-con Szeto Sam-ping (Chin Ka-lok) who is an expert of escaping from authorities. Also included is certified lawyer and Sam-ping's lover Lui Lui (Mandy Wong), expert thief and fighter Wyman Chan Tai-man (Timmy Hung), talented hacker Mak Ping-on (Tracy Chu) and former government official Bak Suen (Henry Lo), who also handles all the accounting for the group.
Up and coming promising celebrity Chan Hiu-ming has an all out drug party at a hotel room. Hiu-ming's manager hires The Fixers to remove him from the scene before authorities reach the hotel room. The next day when Hiu-ming arrives with his manager to pay The Fixers, Lui Lui gives an word of advice to Hiu-ming about his lifestyle. Not only does he not take Lui Lui's advice well but he also throws a temper tantrum while leaving The Fixers office. A few days later Hiu-ming is found dead at home from an apparent drug overdose. A rookie cop at the investigation scene comments that he saw Hiu-ming leaving the drug party scene few days earlier but was too busy writing out parking tickets to stop him, but if Hiu-ming had been arrested that night he might still be alive.
