The Dream Team company's ethos is to expand their business whilst surviving against conventions. Their recruiting of like-minded souls has stood them in good stead over many years. They fight injustices with complete disregard for laws and are passing this legacy onto their successors, the pairing of Barry Parker's long lost son and a young Chinese girl from Hong Kong. They use Taoist principles and spiritual practices as part of their training regimen, in between taking down a crooked Irish developer in cahoots with a Chinese people and drug trafficker. To further their own business, an Iranian friend scammed in a Spanish property deal asks them to help get his money back. A complete disruption, an elaborate fraud, and a violent raid bring down the Irish developer and his business. The Chinese connection is discovered during their raid and leads them to kidnap a corrupt Chinese diplomat to get Chinese State Security off their backs. The young pair smuggle witnesses out of China along with evidence on the diplomat. It ends with a handover for the ransom of the diplomat in a classic London bridge setting aided and abetted by bees and birds strangely summoned by their mysterious colleague Lin Fu. Fast-moving and often sensual, their adventures traverse the globe, their experiments with magical, esoteric practices produce mysterious but believable results that leave you wondering if that could really happen. The whole team is an eclectic mix of free spirits, always anti-establishment and unconventional.
