Ko Chow is an undercover cop who is under pressure from all sides. His boss, Inspector Lau, wants him to infiltrate a gang of ruthless jewel thieves; his girlfriend wants him to commit to marriage or she will leave Hong Kong with another lover; and he is being pursued by other cops who are unaware that he is a colleague. Chow would rather quit the force, feeling guilty about betraying gang members who have become his friends.
Neon-soaked streets and relentless tension collide in this frantic race against double-crosses and broken promises. You will feel the suffocating pressure of a man trapped between a criminal underworld and a life he can no longer claim.
