Five police officers in Hong Kong are kidnapped. The police commissioner is on a business trip overseas. Two vice commissioners, Sean Rau and M.B. Lee, then take over the case. The two vice commissioners are rivals who both vie for the police commissioner seat. At first, M.B. Lee takes the lead in the case, but comes to a dead end. Sean Lau then takes the lead, but he falls into a trap. Both men are then investigated by the ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption).

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The ICAC's real-life 1970s origins as Hong Kong's anti-corruption weapon makes their on-screen presence instantly loaded for local audiences.
Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung Ka-fai reportedly avoided each other offset to maintain on-screen friction — method pettiness.
