Plot

Kong Lai-Nga, Yim Pui-Woo and So Fei are sisters. Their parents died at birth, so the three of them were sent to orphanages and were later adopted into three different homes with different backgrounds. Yim Pui-Woo was sent to prison for killing her stepmother, but Kong Lai-Nga, wanting to save her sister, told officials that she was the one who committed the crime and went to prison instead. So Fei is a very kind person and forges evidence to save Kong Lai-Nga but gets caught and gets sent to prison, too. The three sisters and the prison owner have some hostilities; thus, the prison owner wants revenge. This series uses women in jail as its storyline, describing the dark side of women in prison.
