Keen to make partner in the Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) division of prestigious law firm Parsons Valentine and Hunt, Ingrid Yun competes with her main rival Dan Fallon to work with the M&A managing partner Marty Adler on a deal for energy conglomerate Sun Corp to acquire a Chinese based firm called Min Enterprises. Amidst her competition with Dan, matters are complicated for Ingrid by the new British transfer, Jeff Murphy, to the New York office. Jeff and Ingrid had shared a passionate weekend together six years prior at a wedding, an encounter which left a lasting impression on Ingrid but which Jeff seemingly doesn't remember. Ingrid also begins dating wealthy philanthropist Nick Laren whilst simultaneously dealing with her wayward sister Lina. When Marty informs Dan and Ingrid that only one of them can continue working on the Sun Corp deal, Dan edges out Ingrid by using his DOE connections, devastating Ingrid. However, at a reception hosted by Nick, Ingrid encounters Dan's DOE contact and realizes he is drunkenly speaking to a Financial Times journalist working on a story about the rumored acquisition. To save the deal from being prematurely revealed, Ingrid proposes an expedited plan to Marty and works through the weekend with her staff to get the deal ready for a Monday morning agreement. She successfully does so, outmaneuvering Dan in the process. As she celebrates her victory, Jeff reveals that he remembers their passionate weekend very well.
