Largo Winch

In New York, Nerio Winch, President of Group W, is assassinated. In Italy: Nerio's adopted son, Largo and Largo's best friend Simon, accompany Brother Maurice to recover a manuscript, where they are ambushed. They manage to escape, but are attacked later and the manuscript is stolen. Returning to headquarters of Group W with Simon, Largo learns of the death of Nerio and that he has inherited 385 billion dollars and is now the head of Group W, one of the largest multinational companies in the world. Largo initally rejects his inheritance. He then agrees to take the reins of Group W, determined to find the assassin of his father. To the chagrin of some of the board members, he also initiates some business changes... tying salary to safety issues instead of profit, insisting that questionable business deals be straightened out. With his life still in danger, Largo creates a special team. This unit includes his best friend Simon, Joy Arden, a former CIA agent specializing in clo

Two weeks after Largo's arrival at Group W, the pressures have Largo running away to Atlantic City with Simon. Kerensky finds out what they are doing, but agrees not to tell, causing Joy to hunt Largo down herself and bring him back to headquarters. Largo decides to follow through with a group retreat that Nerio had scheduled to try to foster some co-operation. The session is cut short however, when Stella Gant from the brewery operation is attacked by two men. Largo and Simon manage to overpower the men. One of the men is the brother of Mafioso John Valance. Largo finds that Nerio was allowing Valance to launder money through the brewery division. Valance assigns his assistant, Scalese, to get rid of Largo. In the course of their investigation, Kerensky intercepts a video call between Scalese and his hired assassins and learns that Scalese is working for the Commission and plans on assassinating John Valance also so the Commission can take over Valance's operation as well as Gro

Nerio reappears in Largo's life, the apparent victim of a kidnapping. In the meantime, Joy and Largo are seeing each other a bit outside of Group W, and Largo is trying to convince Joy to come back to work for him. Simon meets up with Kerensky, and they end up having a shootout at an Asian restaurant. Kerensky comes back to work for Largo, and Simon apologizes for having suspected him of being the mole. Largo begins to realize that Nerio isn't really Nerio... and the trouble ensues. Jaeger comes to Joy's apartment (on the fake Nerio's orders) and takes her prisoner. She manages to alert Kerensky, and he comes to her rescue. Largo manages to foil Nerio's plans, and Nerio jumps down a ventilation shaft 64 floors up. Simon is made VP of International Relations (much to the shock of Cardignac!). Largo and Joy kiss in the penthouse, and are interrupted by Kerensky, who tells them that there was blood in the shaft, but no body... so Nerio's double could still be alive.

Joy rushes to North Carolina to help her former husband, David Crossley, who, it seems, has stolen from Group W to repay a gambling debt. Crossley is the veterinarian at Group W's stallion farm in Versailles, North Dakota and is managing a program to breed champion horses through artificial insemination. Days before, Crossley had walked off with a vial of semen from a champion horse and a neighbouring rancher, who uses threats, blackmail and violence, is after it.

Largo, Simon and Joy are in Paris, investigating the theft of laser-guided components from one of Group W's labs. A local security firm, Securitek, was in charge of security, and works with them to figure it out. In the meantime, Joy meets a man at the shooting range, and goes on a date. However, Largo is still jealous, and can't help but show it. While in Paris, Joy and her father reunite, but not without difficulty and some anger on Joy's part. Charles Arden assists them in finding the culprits who stole the laser-guided components, and Joy has to let go of some of her anger.
