The two long voices were followed by a short one, indicating that "our ship is trying to overtake your starboard side";Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns.Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family.Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community.In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August?Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John.The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House.Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence.Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?督察Mat(Jesdaporn Pholdee饰)是一位年轻有为的警官，曾在国内国外接受过很多项目的训练。训练结束后，Mat被派往副部长Sutha（Wayne Falconer饰）的审查部门去调查贩毒案。案件牵涉到一辆号码为645的逃税车，Mat后来知晓这辆车被督察Siyarn（Chakrit Yamnam饰）的鬼魂所缠绕，他是这辆旧车的主人，一直在这里。Siyarn被杀，并被认定是参与贩毒的坏警察。Siyarn的鬼魂想要在Mat的帮助下证明自己的清白。Mat开始调查工作，Siyarn就像是搭档。Mat认识了Phewy(Morlock Phunpoon饰)，一位年轻能干的女记者，她也正在跟这辆逃税车的新闻。Phewy提供的信息让Mat有机会接近Oty(Akkarin Anithimetharath饰)和Tom(Atthaporn Thimakr饰)，他们是兄弟俩，黑帮的当家。Mat被副部长指派进入Oty和Tom的黑帮卧底，调查跟贩毒有关的线索。Mat成功进入了Oty的黑帮，但是悄悄跟踪Mat的Phewy也一起进入了。虽然Mat不赞成，但不得不同意，因为Phewy威胁说如果不让她一起，她就向Oty揭露他的真实身份，Mat只好让Phewy假扮他的女友一起加入黑帮。Phewy为做这个新闻非常投入，尽管她工作的泰国每日新闻报社的社长Lertsakorn（Suttipong Wattanajan饰）和崇拜Phewy的后辈同Snooker(Duta Chutin饰)都不赞成她做的事，因为怕她有危险。但是Phewy一旦下决心要做某件事，那就没有什么能阻止她。Lew（Kanuengnij Jaksamittanon）过去是Siyarn的爱人，也是检察官，在Siyarn被认定为贩毒者而结案之前，她也在查这个案子。Lew最伤心的是Siyarn对她不忠，与他的线人，年轻女孩Oil（Girariporn Patthrakul饰）纠缠不清。Siyarn的案子结束一年后，Lew依然沉浸在悲伤中，只有Phu Kong Khen（Sarawut Mettong饰）是她的好友，Siyarn曾经拜托他照顾Lew。她知道Khen对她的感觉超过了朋友，但她的心里恐怕还没有空余的位置给他。在Siyarn的审判结束一年后Lew从oil那里知道了真相，oil在法庭上说了谎，因为有黑帮的人（她不知道是谁）威胁她必须说谎，事实上Siyarn一直都爱着Lew。在Lew还没来得及进一步问她详细情况，Oil死于吸毒过量。Oil死后，Lew看到了Oil努力要拿给她的戒指，这是Siyarn在被枪杀前一天买给Lew的。Lew很伤心她误会了Siyarn，并想要重新调查Siyarn的案子。Khen很清楚Siyarn死前遇到了什么，因此他试图不让Lew重启这个案子，怕她有危险，但是没能阻止得了她。Mat和Phewy伪装成情侣进入黑帮，后来好几次，Phewy单方面觉得如果她和Mat假冒情侣的身份能成真的话，那就太好了。但是Phewy很失望，因为Mat心里只有工作，也没有什么浪漫情趣。Mat和Phewy成功地和Oty混得很熟，因为Mat高超的驾驶技术让Oty很是欣赏。Tom的手下Thahi Kong（Saranyu Prachakrit）很不满Mat抢走他的地位。Kong伺机找Mat的麻烦，几次让Mat陷入困境，但Mat都在Siyarn的帮助下脱了险。越是深入卧底，越接近毒品贩卖，Siyang的案子和Mat正在调查的案子越是似乎有些千丝万缕的联系。在事件的背后，可能存在警察的腐败问题，因此Mat觉得可能没有任何人能够信任，就算是Sutha副部长也不行。因为自从Mad给Sutha副部长递送消息说要在Oty贩毒进行中抓捕他后，Oty觉察到了，让抓捕行动失败了。Mat被发现是卧底，但扮成Tom成功逃脱了。他怀疑多时的Kong的身份，可以确定他是假冒的副部长的线人，副部长的所作所为必须要公诸于世。Mat帮助Kong逃走，Kong指责Mat一切都是他的错。而Mat必须送消息给Oty他们，因为Mat让Kong伪装身份在Oty的黑帮中潜伏多年的计划失败了。该剧围绕赌场风云的澳门，尔虞我诈的商界，市井小民的琐碎，灯红酒绿下的情感抉择，燃情岁月下的创业奋斗，世态炎凉下的逐梦之旅，讲述了各种人生际遇下的起伏悲欢。立淇担纲主演。刘立淇曾经演绎过《仁者无敌》的“萧鱼”，《爱在苍茫大地》的沈儒云，《射雕英雄传》的白发瑛姑，《武林外传》中的女店主金湘玉等，成功塑造过多样角色类型的刘立淇，每一次用心诠释品味角色赋予的生命力，得到了业界的一致好评与观众的喜欢。 在《青春不言败》里，立淇华丽变身，饰演一位命运多舛、迷倒众生，坚强独立、聪慧伶俐、敢爱敢恨的当红女歌星阿红。在戏中，阿红(刘立淇饰)获得了阿坚以及公子吴祖智的爱慕，众人的倾慕与垂涎，成为熠熠生辉万人瞩目的当红女歌，但是她并没有迷失，坚持自己的所爱。刘立淇有着一副天籁般的嗓音，窈窕的曲线身材，修长的美腿，清丽雅致的面容，以及一翦秋水般明澈的双瞳，将当红女星阿红饰演得楚楚动人，如梨花带雨，荷香轻飘，巧笑盼兮，感染与震撼力不仅仅让剧中人所倾倒，也使得观众将为之着迷。范文轩旋即又叹道：说实在的。项羽这是抱着誓死的信念来的，熟知兵法的章邯很清楚，项羽这样做的目的和效果。半个时辰后，一切准备就绪，板栗恭请周爷爷和周三太爷等人入席看戏，又特别言明，还要请周伯母和周姑娘也一起观看。
