Unbeknownst to the thieves, the microfilm contains a highly classified document crucial to a powerful triad boss, Lai Hung (Roy Cheung).

Enter Inspector So Man-kei (Michelle Khan), a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails Hong Kong cop known for her exceptional fighting skills and razor-sharp instincts. So is a fierce and dedicated cop who takes her job very seriously, often clashing with her superiors for pushing boundaries and disregarding bureaucracy. Alongside her British colleague, Inspector Lee (Carina Lau), a tough and intelligent cop who moves between the UK and Hong Kong, So embarks on a mission to track down the stolen passport and uncover the truth behind the murder. As Lee and Ng struggle to stay one step ahead of the triad's henchmen, they inadvertently become entangled in an intricate web of espionage and counter-espionage. Meanwhile, Inspector So and her partner become entagled in their own cat-and-mouse game with the triad and the thieves, navigating the complex layers of corruption and deceit.
