Jing-nan has known Peggy Lee, a bullying frenemy who runs her family's huge corporate bank/real estate company, since high school. Peggy's father has been kidnapped, and the ransom the kidnappers are demanding is not money but IP: a high-tech memory chip that they want to sell in China. But when the reluctant Jing-nan tries to help, he finds himself getting deeper and deeper into trouble with some very unsavoury characters - the most unsavoury of whom might very well be the victim himself.
